[Lyric] Off to the Races (Sam Tio)

Hey baby let's go to the races, what do you think about that?
You can put on that new sundress, and I’ll wear my bowlin' cap
I already got a tip, on a horse lookin' quick
He’s a purebred from outta town
Yeah I got a buddy workin' up at the track
And he's always throwin' money down

Cause when the gun goes off, everybody's hearts stop
Then they all start racin' again
Kinda like the first time I met you, and every other time since then

Remember that night you came to party in the city
And you waltzed me off my feet?
I'd had a couplе of rough years, and didn't know I needed that feelin’
But now I got it evеry day, I hope it never goes away
Here’s our horse wearin' number eight
He’s there in the blue, that's Seattle Slew, walkin' up to the gate

And when the gun goes off, everybody's hearts stop
Then they all start racin’ again
Kinda like the first time I met you, and every other time since then
Yeah he's lookin' a little slow down the backstretch
I hate to say it but I'm feelin' the same
Though all that goes out the window
When you're up by fifteen lengths

And when the gun goes off, everybody's heart's stop
Then they all start racin' again
Kinda like the first time I met you, and every other time since then
