(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 (Hi-yup!)
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!
( Hi-yup!)
