Lonnie Johnson

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 so hot,
You may be a good race horse mama, 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 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 speed!


Now to be a good race horse, you got to try to hold your second spot,
Now to be a good race horse mama, you got to try to hold your second spot,
As soon as you get on your home stretch, give your jockey ev ery 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 bestest horses that run,
And if you don't start jumpin', I will show you how the ridin's done!
