This is the way the ladies ride—
Saddle-a-side, saddle-a-side!
This is the way the gentlemen ride—
Sitting astride, sitting astride!
This is the way the grandmothers ride—
Bundled and tied, bundled and tied!
This is the way the babbykins ride—
Snuggled inside, snuggled inside!
This is the way, when they are late,
They all fly over a five-barred gate!
