Dance of the Hours by Spike Jones and His City Slickers Lyrics
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
This is Doodles Weaver in the pressbox
In Indianapolis for the races out here
It is a beautiful day for the races
Not a cloud in the sky
A hundred and fifty thousand people are waiting for this great event
And what a spectacle, what a wonderful spectacle
I'll describe the whole thing now
The boys are coming round the turn
And I believe it is a perfect sight
As they come down here
The green flag waves
The starter says OK
And THERE THEY GOOOOOO!
It’s car number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack
Jack? Hit me again dealer
Number 10 has taken a lead around the park turn there he goes
Number 13, 16, 17, green car, blue car
The first car by the turn will be number 10
Here he comes down the straight-away at a 135 miles per hour
(Voom) there he goes now, car number 3, (voom) 4, (voom) 5
A wreck!
A wreck in the park turn, a man skidding around
Out of control, up to the fence, down to the fence
Unless he's careful, he's going to hit the fence
Please don’t hit that fence. (bang)
He hit it
Ladies and gentlemen
There's been a very slight accident in the park turn involving 35 cars
I've have my assistent Pootwaddle on the track with a travelling microphone
I'm going to have him cross to that driver who's being taken away, but be careful
I'm down on the track now, and as I cross the track
I... (voom) Number 3 went by there, as I cross the track... (voom)...
4 went by there, well I...(voom)
I'm having a little trouble getting across the...(voom)...track
Here's the driver of that car
Say a few words driver, so everbody will know that you’re perfectly okay
Aaaaaiiaaauuu!
You just heard the driver of that car. He’s all right
Finish the race, please (whoop)
Ladies and gentlemen
This is Doodles Weaver back in the stand for the finish of the race
For you people who have tuned in late
Number 30 just sat a record. (voom)
There he goes now, passing everybody
Every eye glued on that car
Looks very funny with all those eyes glued on it
Here he goes, (voom) there he goes again
Look at that boy drive. (voom)
Look at him go, he's really going. (voom)
There he goes again
Look out. (voom, voom)
He went by twice. And here’s a little midget
A little midget racer doing well
Look at that little midget there. (zip)
The little midget racer went by (voom) 9 (voom) 12 (roar)
A P-38, how did that get in the race?
And (voom) 12 (voom) 9
And the best man is number 13, around the turn
Down to the green flag
He's coming down here for a ... tight ... yep, think of a perfect finish down here
And I believe he's going to be the winner
The crowd is going mad as he comes down
There goes the winnerrrrrrrrr!
