I'd Rather Be The Orse Lyrics

The master has a workhorse

He keeps the 'orse well fed

Cos he can't make the 'orse work

If the bloody thing is dead

So he feeds it and he grooms it

And he gives it an embrace

Cos unlike me the 'orse would cost

A fortune to replace

I'd rather be the 'orse

I'd be better off of course

He may still work me til I drop

But I'd rather be the 'orse

He has a happy horsey face

He strikes me quite content

Cos he gets food and shelter

And he doesn't pay no rent

He has no money worries

He's never in the red

No bailiffs at his stable door

They're all at mine instead

I'd rather be the 'orse

I'd be better off of course

He may still work me til I drop

But I'd rather be the 'orse

So put the reins around my neck

Attach me to the plough

When faced with being 'orse or man

I'd choose the 'orse right now

So put the saddle on my back

Feed me oats and hay

I'd be a beast of burden

As a human anyway

I'd rather be the 'orse

I'd be better off of course

He may still work me til I drop

But I'd rather be the 'orse

I'd rather be the 'orse

I'd be better off of course

He may still work me til I drop

But I'd rather be the 'orse
