Now a country boy named Shorty | |
And a city boy named Dan, | |
Had to prove who could run the fastest | |
To win Miss Lucy’s hand. | |
Now Dan had all the money, | |
And he also had the looks. | |
But Shorty must have had something boys that can’t be found in books. | |
“Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across.” | |
That’s what Miss Lucy said. | |
“Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across. | |
It’s you I wanna win.” | |
Now Dan had been in training, | |
A week before the race. | |
He’d made up his mind old Shorty, | |
Would end in second place. | |
Now Dan with his long legs flying, | |
Left Shorty far behind. | |
And Shorty heard him holler out, | |
“Miss Lucy you’ll soon be mine.” | |
“Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across.” | |
That’s what Miss Lucy said. | |
“Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across. | |
It’s you I wanna win.” | |
But Shorty wasn’t worried. | |
He had a smile upon his face. | |
He knew that he was gonna win, | |
’Cos Lucy had fixed the race. | |
And just like that old story ’bout the turtle and the hare, | |
When Dan crossed over the finishing line, | |
He found Shorty waiting there. | |
“Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across.” | |
That’s what Miss Lucy said. | |
“Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across. | |
It’s you I wanna win.” |
