Analysis of Mr. Jockey alias Jack
Gotta make it Thursday to the race-track.
I spent money and I want it back.
Gotta place bucks and win a race.
That short brown gelding with a great pace,
Lately shamed 'cause he didn't win,
Promised no other shall pass him.
I love horses and my heart soars high.
To the track I'll go, tickets to buy.
