I've won a day at the races

For me and my friend Doreen Maguire

Posh frocks and new hats

That's what we require.

 

So off we go shopping

Hair and nails done on the way

Well we girls want to look our best

For the big race day.

 

Now Doreen's buxom and curvy

Me I'm thin as a latt

Or you could say slim and slender

And Doreen's just fat.

 

We went in loads of shops

Nothing seemed to fit the bill

Everything was kind of frumpish

And we're definitly not over the hill.

 

Then we came accross this shop

In a side street in the town

It's called Reds Closet Boutique

And we both came out with a gown.

 

We got fascinators to match

Shoes, accessories and bags too

Doreen got something in pink

I got something in blue.

 

It was the day of the races

We were up with the lark

Had our lunch in Tom and Jerry's

Then off to haydock park.

 

The horses are under starters orders

And I'd backed the grey

Well it came home last

But it was winning all the way.

 

Now we came to the last race

And we're digging deep in our pocket

Doreen said put it on this

It's called Super Rocket.

 

Well it romped home at 50/1

This horse called Super Rocket

And me and Doreen Maguire

Went home with brass in our pocket..
