The Lyrics
"Rags to Riches", a filly, won the Belmont Stakes by a nose over "Curlin" Saturday
A story about a stable boy's plan gone horribly wrong
DKTOS? HEAR
A story about a stable boy's plan gone horribly wrong
DKTOS? HEAR
I wish I'd bet on "Rags to Riches"❘
If I had only took the dare
'Cause if I'd bet with my last twenty
I'd be a 'hundred-aire'
I watch the race as it's unfurlin'
But could the filly soon be queen?
She took the lead by passing Curlin
And won the thing
[Here the stableboy flashes back to the night before the race, as he snuck into Curlin's stall, to enact his get-rich-quick plan]
I'd opened the stall and prepared for the chore
The breeding treasure that I'm working for
Bit me and kicked me I'm do-ing this job nevermore
I had a plan to make a fortune
Had Curlin won I would be rich
I thought his sperm would sell on Ebay
But fate is sure a bitch
It sure was hard collecting semen
Though Curlin didn't seem to mind
A mishap left my butt in stiches
The jokes have not been kind
If I had only took the dare
'Cause if I'd bet with my last twenty
I'd be a 'hundred-aire'
I watch the race as it's unfurlin'
But could the filly soon be queen?
She took the lead by passing Curlin
And won the thing
[Here the stableboy flashes back to the night before the race, as he snuck into Curlin's stall, to enact his get-rich-quick plan]
I'd opened the stall and prepared for the chore
The breeding treasure that I'm working for
Bit me and kicked me I'm do-ing this job nevermore
I had a plan to make a fortune
Had Curlin won I would be rich
I thought his sperm would sell on Ebay
But fate is sure a bitch
It sure was hard collecting semen
Though Curlin didn't seem to mind
A mishap left my butt in stiches
The jokes have not been kind
