Riding In The TT Races
Composer(s): Gifford Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby
If theres one thing that I like
it's riding around on a motor-bike
I'm a speed king, when I once begin
I once won first prize two and six, I know all the dirt track dirty tricks
I'm a marvel when I'm out to win
In a fifty mile race I am the best, I ride five miles and skid the rest
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
I've been riding all my life, I started quite small
I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all
Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards
Down the hill I go at break-neck speed
See me coming down the street with the winning post on the pillion seat
Oh! Come along and see me riding in the T.T. race
Come along and see me riding in the T.T. races
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces
Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind
Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind
Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider
My inside rattles when I go the pace
My ribs begin to shake about, there's all my spare parts sticking out
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race
Alternative ending:
With my gears in reverse, the other way round I'll finish first
Oh! Come along and see me riding in the T.T. race
