The Best Jockey in Town |
You say you’re a race horse mama, your jockey ain’t never been found |
You say you’re a race horse mama, but your jockey ain’t never been found |
But you’ve found the best little jockey, I’m the best rider in town |
Now you may be a good race horse mama, but I don’t think you’re so hot |
You may be a good race horse, but I don’t think you’re so hot |
'Cause when it comes to ridin' what you know, baby I’ve done forgotten |
To be a good race horse, a good jockey’s what you really need |
To be a good race horse mama, a good jockey’s what you really need |
'Cause when you get on your home stretch, you don’t know how to pick up your |
speed |
Now to be a good race horse, you got to try and hold your second spot |
To be a good race horse mama, you got try to hold your second spot |
As soon as you get on your home stretch, give your jockey every bit you got |
Now if you wanna be a good race horse, let me do your trainin' from now on |
If you want to be a real good race horse, let me do your trainin' from now on |
And I will make you win races, mama that have never been won |
I’m a jockey by trade, I’ve rode the best horses that run |
I’m a jockey by trade, I’ve rode the best in horses that run |
And if you don’t start jumpin', I will show you how the ridin’s done |
