Lyrics

Off To The Races

V 1
Daddy always said, If ya gonna bet the ponies
You best be ready to loose some dough
Then off we’d go to The Belmont Park,
Daddy said never step on the subway cracks
Don’t leave the window till you check your bets
And we havin’ 2 foot longs and a beer for lunch

Chorus 1
Off to the races
Gonna have some fun
Never know how you’ll do
Till the day is done
I really don’t care
Cause it’s daddy’s dough
It’s another great day
At the Ray Hay ce track

V2
In 7th race on the turf at a mile and an eighth
Baby Cakes broke clean and he set the pace
Challenged by three at the top of the stretch
Whole Crowd’s screamin’ Baby Cakes go no brakes
That Colt shook his head and said not today
Pinned his ears, kicked a gear and he finished first

Chorus 2
Off to the races
Gonna have some fun
Never know how you’ll do
Till the day is done
I really don’t care
Cause it’s daddy’s dough
It’s another great day
At the Ray Hay ce track

V3
Then came the rain in a quirk of fate
Turned that track into a muddy mess
but Daddy knew the long shot just that loved that slop
He went all in, she went off at 40 to 1
She came from behind, flinging mud to the sky
Chased them down and finished first then ran right to the barn

Chorus 3
Off to the races
Gonna have some fun
Never know how you’ll do
Till the day is done
I really don’t care
Cause it’s daddy’s dough
It’s another great day
At the Ray Hay ce Track
