Wanda Darling of the Jockey Club Songtext
von Duke Special

I was a waiter at the Jockey Club
And though the great and the good would all come
Wanda was feted above everyone
They threw a banquet in her honour
Me the lucky man to wait upon her

Wanda, oh Wanda
Oh to go on crazy day trips
With that famous aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda
Darling of the Jockey Club

She wanted to be the first one to do
The journey from Greenland down to Peru
But she got thirsty near Kalamazoo
So she took a quick spin ′cross the Rockies
Just to have a Gin Sling at the Jockey's


Wanda, oh Wanda
Oh to go on crazy day trips
With that champion aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda
Darling of the Jockey Club

While waiting tables I noticed this guy
Trying to take all the jewels he could find
I was just able to stop him in time
Well you don′t get far if you get hit o
-Ver the head with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot

Wanda, oh Wanda
Oh to go on lazy day trips
With that famous aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda
Darling of the Jockey Club

But in a rotten turn of events
The champagne popped, the head waiter got drenched
I was sacked on the spot, Wanda, she was incensed
She said to me, hey, Mr Waiter
Would you like to be my Navigator?


Wanda, oh Wanda
And now we go on lazy day trips
Me and my sweet aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda
When it's five o'clock we
Fly across the Rockies
And dine out at the Jockey Club
