“Mister Ed” Lyrics
By Ray Evans (1915-2007) and Jay Livingston (1915-2001)

Hello, I'm Mr. Ed

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse, of course,
That is, of course, unless the horse
Is the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to the source and ask the horse,
He’ll give you the answer that you’ll endorse,
He’s always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.

Closing Theme:

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse, of course,
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to the source, and ask the horse,
He’ll give you the answer that you’ll endorse,
He’s always on a steady course,
Talk to Mr. Ed.

People yakkity yak a streak,
and waste your time of day,
But Mister Ed will never speak,
Unless he has something to say.


A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one’ll talk ‘til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this:

I am Mister Ed.
