Racing Horses

My horse has started its first race
Bolt running at an even pace.
Whizzing past a new movie cast
All the horses are running fast

Bolt is now zipping around a post
Now speeding past Queensland’s gold coast
Bolts new best friend is coming last
All the horses are running fast

Hair is flickering in the wind
Now his worst enemy is pinned
My horse has run all the way past
All the horses are running fast

All the horses have tried their best
My horse is better than the rest
My horse and his mates had a blast
All the horses are running fast
