Lyrics:
Hayworth's voice dubbed by Martha Mears

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.

[Men]
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---
Oh, 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.

[Rita]
No drive in the country for me after dark;
My limit is just once around Central Park.

[Men]
After the races are over
Being with you will be bliss.
P'raps you'll surrender
When gentlemen tender
Say, "Let's have a little
Let's have a little kiss."

[Rita]
Though you are tender
I cannot surrender

[All]
To "Let's have a little
Let's have a little kiss!"

[Rita]
Somehow I'm sure I've found
The sure thing in you.
Taking romance
I take no chance
Somehow my heart has picked you
Out of the blue.
But if it turns 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.
