SIMPLE STAN

This is a tale of a betting man 
He was known by the bookies as simple Stan 
He used to bet on every sport and every game 
The outcome for Stan was always the same 

Fifty pounds lost here and twenty pounds there
Simple Stan did not seem to care 
He always enjoyed the thrill of the chase 
As he put his money on Friends to win the 3.00 race 

The bookie was laughing when he took the bet 
A horse at a 1000 to 1 he thought was a horse to forget 
However simple Stan's horse came in that day 
A tidy sum would be coming his way 

The bookies will always remember simple Stan 
An ordinary bloke and a betting man
