"Horses" <br /><br />1926 <br /><br />Seven Little Polar Bears (Harry Reser musicians) <br /><br />Cameo 915. <br /><br />Music by Byron Gay <br /><br />Lyrics by Richard A. Whiting <br /><br />Crazy over horses, horses, horses. <br />Nutty over horses, horses, horses. <br />Goofy over horses, horses, horses. She's a little wild. <br /><br />Daffy over horses, horses, horses. <br />Silly over horses, horses, horses. <br />Once I heard her call me "Spark Plug"--"Brown Eyes," too. <br />Guess she thinks I'm a horse's "Barney Google." <br /> <br />At the altar, altar, altar, maybe she will falter, falter, falter. <br />Then I'll get a halter, halter, halter just to make her mine. <br /><br />A woman's "no" means "yes," I guess. <br />A horse's neigh is a horse's "yes." <br /><br />Oh, it's horses, horses, just a lot <br />of horses, horses, horses all the time. <br /><br />And ev'ry time she drinks, by heck, <br />She always drinks a horse's neck. <br />Oh, it's horses, horses, just a lot o' horses, <br />Horses, horses all the time. <br /><br />The comic song "Horses" makes demands on the vocalist due to the rapid patter. <br /><br />The song is about a man who takes his girlfriend to the races and is amazed by her obsession with horses. <br /><br />"Spark Plug" is the name of the horse in the American comic strip Barney Google. <br /><br />The man hopes that his girl will falter in her love for horses. He plans to get a halter (a device used to lead or tie up horses) to help her decide to marry him. <br /><br />The bride's veil will look like a horse's tail.
