Wish I had the fastest steed

Running the belmont stakes

After Kentucky and Baltimore

The crown is ours to take

The crown is ours to take



Wish I had a jet airplane

Wings of solid gold

Everyone waiting for me to land

And crying when I go

They're just crying when I go



Wish I drew an inside straight

Whenever I play my hand

Lay your money down if you dare

But I'm a no time loser man

A no time loser man



Wish I had a stretch of road

That goes for miles and miles

Never have to wonder which way to go

It takes me where the weather is mild

Takes me where the weather is mild



Wish I could shoulder a thousand pounds

Somebody spread the word

Jump in the ring for fifteen rounds

Champion of the world

I'm the champion of the world



Wish I had my green eyed girl

Sitting here by my side

If I had my green eyed girl

I'd be satisfied

I'd be satisfied
