Somehow-After the Races Are Over

Somehow - After the Races Are Over - Rita Hayworth

The favorite doesn't always win

No matter what the odds

Since nobody knows how they'll come in

I leave it to the gods

So wish me luck because I'm going to bet on

A sentimental hunch

My heart is suddenly set on

Somehow I'm sure I've found the sure thing in you

Something within

Tells me we'll win

Somewhere my heart has picked you out of the blue

And since I'm only a beginner

A winner I'll be

But win or lose whatever comes up

You're thumbs-up with me

One thing I'm sure I'm sure of

All my life through

If love can figure out a sure thing

That sure thing is you

After the races are over

After the races are run

Loser or winner let's go out to dinner

And let's have a little let's have a little fun

Let's go to Rector's or Shanley's

Champagne and duck are divine

Let's lose our troubles imbibing some bubbles

Let's have a little let's have a little wine

Then when we're mellow and feeling alive

Let's take a drive along Riverside Drive

No drive in the country for me after dark

My limit is just once around Central Park

After the races are over

Being with you will be bliss

Perhaps you'll surrender when gentlmen tender

Say "Let's have a little let's have a little kiss"

Though you are tender I cannot surrender

To "Let's have a little let's have a little kiss

Somehow I'm sure I've found the sure thing in you

Taking romance I take no chance

Somewhere my heart has picked you out of the blue

But if it truns out that my long shot

A wrong shot should be

And all my castles come a-tumbling

No grumbling from me

Long shot

One thing I'm sure of all my life through

If love can figure out a sure thing

That sure thing

Is you
