New Brain movie - And They're Off lyrics
rate me<br>
Gordon:<br>
Ponies in the sun.<br>
The race is soon beginning.<br>
My family bet the family fortune on a sleek brown horse.<br>
My father had a hunch, we gave up lunch so Daddy could make a wager.<br>
Ma would scoff. She would scoff. Hear her scoff!<br>
And they're off!<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la la la la la la la<br>
<br>
Gordon: Yeah they're off!<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la la la la la la la<br>
<br>
Gordon: And they move in a herd, like a four letter word and they're off.<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la.<br>
<br>
Gordon: Tickets flow, to the ground. And the band starts to play as the horses go round. <br>
<br>
All: And they're off!<br>
<br>
Goron: Mommy sat and cried. But Dad was unaffected. He said, "Have you ever had a better two minutes in the last three<br>
years?". We said, "But Dad the dumb horse lost!". He said "Sometimes joy has a terrible cost". I know that. Ma would scoff.<br>
Woo! She would scoff. Hear her scoff. And they're off!<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la la la la la la la<br>
<br>
Gordon: Yeah they're off!<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la la la la la la la<br>
<br>
Gordon: Mommy's biting his neck as they roll on the deck, and they're off.<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la.<br>
<br>
Gordon: There is blood on the ground. And the band starts to play as the horses go round. <br>
<br>
All: And they're off!<br>
<br>
Gordon: Isn't life funny? People lose money and have fun. Betting of course, is hell on the horses. And on families where<br>
the betting is done, it's a joke to believe someone's won. <br>
All they did was fight. Plus they discussed the weather. My family bet the fortune till it disappeared. We also laughed a<br>
lot. That was a thing I often forgot to tell you. But it's true. Yes it's true. It is true. And he's off!<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la la la la la la la<br>
<br>
Gordon: Daddy's off!<br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la la la la la la la<br>
<br>
Goron: We get letters from Maine where he tries to explain why he's off. <br>
<br>
Chorus: La la la la.<br>
<br>
Gordon: What was lost was not found.And the band starts to play as the horses go round.<br>
And they're offfffffffff.<br>
And they're off!<br>
<br>
Chorus: I hear the bells of the starting gate.<br>
<br>
Gordon: Hey they're off.<br>
<br>
Chorus: We're salivating as we're moving moving down the track.<br>
<br>
Gordon: And they move in a herd like a four letter word, and they're off.<br>
<br>
Chorus: Comming down the stretch!<br>
<br>
Gordon: There is blood (There is blood) on the ground.(On the ground) And the band starts to play as the horses go round.<br>
And round<br>
<br>
Chorus: And round.<br>
<br>
Gordon: And round<br>
<br>
Chorus: And round.<br>
<br>
Gordon: And around.<br>
<br>
Chorus: And Around<br>
<br>
Gordon: And around.<br>
<br>
Chorus: And Around<br>
<br>
Gordon: And Arooooounnd.<br>
<br>
<br>
Chorus: And round. And round. And round. And round. And round. And round. And round.<br>
<br>
All:And they're off!<br>
