Horse With No Wins

Well I've always been a Jockey
Around horses all my life
There were Nags, glue bags, ponys and bets
There were really expensive pets

The worse one I met Zippy Chirpy
That horse could never win
the hooves were big and the legs were slow
That nag couldn't beat a drum

I've been in a sweepstake on a horse with no wins
A horse no one would claim
Don't even bother to put down a fin
Cause the race is over before it begins
la la la la lalala la la la la la

After nine years without a win
They put a person against the horse
And the outcome was such a sin
Race wasn't too hard just forty yards
But the human won the heat of course

I've been in a sweepstake on a horse with no wins
A horse no one would claim
Don't even bother to put down a fin
Cause the race is over before it begins
la la la la lalala la la la la la

After ten years we gave another try
'cause the horse it was starting to cry
There were baseball players and long shot prayers
There were people betting on a snail
A person has a fair race if it don't go to far
The handicappers had it pegged
A slow horse can win at fifty yards
Because the human has only got two legs.

I've been in a sweepstake on a horse with no wins
A horse no one would claim
Don't even bother to put down a fin
Cause the race is over before it begins
la la la la lalala la la la la la
