Dance of the Hours 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!
