Derby Car Song
(tune: Clementine)
- First you carve it, then you sand it,
- Then you paint it red and white.
- They you put a number on it, add the wheels-
- It’s out of sight.
- Soon it’s race time. Weigh it in now.
- I can hardly wait to show…
- All my friends are at the gate now,
- One, two, three. Get ready, go!
- There’s a first place. There’s a second place.
- There are ribbons for the rest.
- Oh, what fun it is competing.
- And I know I did my best.
– Crossroads of America, 1992
