    D                                  But Shorty wasn't worried, 

there was a smile upon his face.

          E                  Acause old Lucy had fixed the race.
    D                                   GAnd just like that old story, about the turtle 

and the hare.
     D                    When Dan crossed over the finish line,
   A                    Dhe found Shorty waiting there.

CHORUS 2x:
           GCut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across.
       
That's what miss Lucy said.
