original cast of ride - the wager lyrics

[annie, spoken]
mr. yates was an oilman by trade
made his money fast, drank his liquor slow
and at sixty_three still felt
he was in the prime of his life
his colleague mr. monticello
went to living in stocks and bonds
he was always quick with a joke
but there was a rumor that he k!lled his wife

[annie (sung) and martha (spoken)]
monti said to yates, i’ve been readin’
about a man who cycled
the span of the whole wide world
do you think a woman could do the same? (no)
let’s wager! i will engage
a dame who is up to the deed
all i need is to meet a sweet petite athlete
who can tell her handlеbars from her frame

so whaddaya say?
that sound alright?
we’ll dot thе i’s and cross the t’s
and get this contract watertight!
so whaddaya say?
i’m not playing around!
of course, we’ll need to bet some money
how does twenty thousand sound?
[martha, spoken]
uh, miss londonderry, i really don’t think i can play mr. yates, i’m sorry!

[annie, spoken]
now hold on monti, yates replied
and i won’t be taken for a ride
accepting a first offer
is for amateurs and fools
if your aim is to entice me
i’d advise you treat me nicely
and consider the inclusion
of some tiny little rules

[sung]
firstly, she has only
fifteen months to make the track
my friend, if you wanna cash that check
she’ll need to discover her cycling groove
and secondly
before the lady rockets off
she’ll have to rid her pockets of
any cash at hand
and earn five grand on the move
do you approve?

well, whaddaya say?
do we have a deal?
i hope that you’re not having second thoughts
’cause i got b_lls of steel
well, whaddaya say?
let’s give it a whirl!
every piece is in position now
we only need the girl
[annie & martha]
(well, what about her?) that woman’s pushing eighty_two
(her?) halitosis hettie, no thank you!
(her?) no way, she’s married to the booze!
oh, can’t we hurry up and choose?
i don’t like the way she does her hair
(her?) that’s not a woman, martha, that’s a chair
(her?) where’d ya find that one, the zoo?
well, what about her?

[annie]
(spoken)
she’ll have to do!

mr. yates and mr. monticello
approached me at the bar
said they were looking for a cyclist
and they’d pay a pretty price
“well, how fortuitous,” i replied
“that’s exactly what i am”
now that wasn’t strictly true
i’d been on a bicycle twice

[sung]
when they told me of their wager
and how if i could cycle
the span of the whole wide world
i get five grand
i practically fainted there and then
that’s twenty times what i make in a year
so what do i do next?
i look ’em straight in the eye and i coolly reply
“we can talk if you make it ten”
so whaddaya say?
where do i sign?
if this girl cycles like she barters
then i think i’ll be just fine
you got a deal!
don’tcha let me down!
now go and get your things in order
in three days you’re leaving town!

so whaddaya say?
