l bet on all the favorites one day, Arabic, Valor, thoroughbreds all!
Alas, all the jockeys were hopeless!
l bet on all the favorites one day, Arabic, Valor, thoroughbreds all!
The tip was that the horse, Wazir-ul-Mulk, would be the winner
But my luck, it turned out to be a fluke!
Then you should have doubled your bet.
Or you should've tripled your bet.
Or you could've quadrupled your bet.
Hey, l was ready to even raise it five or six times...
by changing my combination
l bet on all the favorites one day, Arabic, Valor, thoroughbreds all!
For the first furlong, the horse led all the way
Coming home the jockey pressed to one side
The horse wound up fourth
When l checked the scoreboard, to my misfortune...
the horse l'd bet on, was nowhere!
