I like beer, and I like cheese   I like the smell of a westerly breeze   What I like more than all of these   Is to be on horseback      Hey, and away we go   Through the grass, across the snow   Big brown beasties, big brown face   I'd rather be with you than flying through space      I like thunder and I like rain   And open fires, roaring flames   But if the thunder's in my brain   I'd like to be on horseback      Some like the city, some the noise   Some make chaos, and others, toys   But if I was to have the choice   I'd rather be on horseback      Hey, and away we go   Through the grass, across the snow   Big brown beasties, big brown face   I'd rather be with you than flying through space      Some find it strange to be here   On this small planet, and who knows where   But when it's strange and full of fear   It's nice to be on horseback      Some are short and others tall   Some hit their heads against the wall   But it doesn't really matter at all   When you happen to be on horseback      Hey, and away we go   Through the grass, across the snow   Big brown beasties, big brown face   I'd rather be with you than flying through space      So if you you feel a little glum   To Hergest Ridge you should come   In summer, winter, rain or sun   It's good to be on horseback, hmph      Hey, and away we go   Through the grass, across the snow   Big brown beasties, big brown face   I'd rather be with you than flying through space      Hey, and away we go   Through the grass, across the snow   Big brown beasties, big brown face   I'd rather be with you than flying through space   I'd rather be on horseback
