Best Jockey In Town (1931) — текст песни (Lonnie Johnson)

You say you`re a racehorse mama, your jockey ain`t never been found.
You say you`re a racehorse 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 racehorse mama, but I don`t think you so hot.
You may be a good racehorse, but I don`t think you so hot.
‘Cause when it comes to ridin` what you know, baby I`ve done forgot.

To be a good racehorse, a good jockey `s what you really need.
To be a good racehorse 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 racehorse, you`ve got to try and hold your second spot.
To be a good racehorse mama, you`ve 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 racehorse, let me do your trainin` from now on.
If you want be a real good racehorse, 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.
