I put that sort of thing into the same catagory as

Go saddle for me my milk-white steed
And bridle me my pony-o. . . .

I mean, how many horses have we got here? One with both saddle and bridle, or two partially dressed horses?

Gotta be a bit loose about these things, I guess. If you try to be too literal, you can drive yourself 'round the bend and chip a tooth while you're singing.
