Grant Lee Phillips - The Goodnight Horse Lyrics

Come into the tent come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a sight
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed

After a long day down at the track
He can't wait to come galloping back
Kicks off his shoes his tail coat and slacks
Picks up the news has a beer to relax

Come into the tent come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a sight
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed

Wife and a family trotting 'round the house
Run and grab his slippers for his feet
Feels so hungry he could eat a man
But a man's too bitter to eat

Come into the tent come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a feat
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed

Then the clock strikes ten he's off to bed
Goes upstairs where the bed's pulled down
His wife gives a listen 'til he begin to snore
'Fore she start off rifling through the pockets of her lord

Come into the tent come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a sight
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed

A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed

Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Ooh
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Ah ah
