Gonna garb my crop gonna grab my hat   Gotta change my situation   I'm gonna pick a steed who's been built for speed   Who's a flat-racing sensation      I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up      So I take my seat, I'm off to the meet   Don't know when I'm getting back   I don't care who wins as the race begins   It's a pleasure at the track      I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up   I'm racing uptown, gotta win that cup      We're all meeting at the track uptown   We're all meeting at the track uptown      I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up   I'm racing uptown, gotta win that cup      You gotta rein in strong, if the race is long   You'll be hoping for a place   Can you believe your luck   You're uptown and stuck   But every jockey won the race      I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up   I'm racing uptown, gotta win that cup      I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up
