ペリー・コモ & Hugo Winterhalter's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
Pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
It would take more than superior forces
Even a dragon to keep you from me
You can make fools out of other good guessers
It would take schools of the finest professors
Usin' their thinkers to keep you from me
What a sight you are, how bright you are, you glow
Take that sight away and right away I'd go (hi yup)
Straight to your door over obstacle courses
Maybe I'm braggin' but surely you'll see
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
Pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
Nothin' could keep you from me
(Hi yup, hi yup, hi yup, hi yup)
Hi yup
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
Pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
It would take more than superior forces
Even a dragon to keep you from me
You can make fools out of other good guessers
Put me in blinkers, I know where you'd be
It would take schools of the finest professors
Usin' their thinkers to keep you from me
What a sight you are, how bright you are, you glow
Take that sight away and right away I'd go (hi yup)
Straight to your door over obstacle courses
Maybe I'm braggin' but surely you'll see
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
Pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
Nothin' can keep you from me
Nothin' can keep you from me

Fantastic i've wanting to hear this song for over 50 years.
@priscianusjr
Me too. I can't say that it's one of my favorites, but it's obviously memorable, since it stayed in my mind all this time. I had forgotten it was by Perry Como.
@lindaeasley5606

@georgecampbell3501
Music was by classical composer Robert Schumann! 1840s)
@cccookies
This is the first 45 I ever bought, in 1953, when I was 11. Far, far better than a different song of the same name by the Rolling Stones, which sounds like a dead-horse-funeral. PS: Como's is based on a Robert Schumann melody, seen here on piano by a 7-year-old: (search for Wilder Reiter / Wild Horseman on YouTube.)
@motcornerbyalisonhasselquist
Based off of the piano piece Wild Horseman.
