Sunday at the Races

Gentlemen, start your engines,
the first thing that I heard.
There rose a sound of thunder,
I couldn't hear a word.

They scurry in the pits,
then cars began to move
Circling the speedway,
searching for their groove.

The flagman in his turret,
holding up the green.
All fans on their feet
to witness this great scene.

All eyes are looking
over at turn four.
The green flag is dropped,
now pedals to the floor.

A roar comes from the grandstand
as rocketships zip by.
This is what they came for
as cars shift into high

As fans begin to settle in
with smiles on their faces.
They know the fun that lies ahead,
it's Sunday at the races!
