(tune: Clementine)
 
First you carve it, then you sand it,
Then you paint it red and white.
They you put a number on it, add the wheels-
It's out of sight.
 
Soon it's race time.  Weigh it in now.
I can hardly wait to show...
All my friends are at the gate now,
One, two, three.  Get ready, go!
 
There's a first place.  There's a second place.
There are ribbons for the rest.
Oh, what fun it is competing.
And I know I did my best.
