We could all do with a song and dance right now to try and lift the spirits during another lockdown. Thanks to the efforts of songwriter and composer Tony Power we have a catchy new ditty to get stuck in our heads or turn into the next TikTok dance craze.
Performed by Diane & Wilma, the new track ‘Am I On A Winner’ will raise funds for the Injured Jockeys Fund with each download or purchase of the CD from our online store.
Having written songs in various styles and singles for artists such as The Three Degrees, Sonia and several winning artists from Eurovision, Tony Power, who admits he has a soft spot for racing, felt like doing something to give back to the professional sportsmen and women who might be struggling through injury.
“I often wonder how sportsmen and women cope, when they get badly injured in their sports. I know it’s a long road back for them to fitness, and some require intense treatment to try to get back to somewhere near the fitness levels that allow them to continue in their sports. They are often self-employed, and very often left without any income, and have to find ways to pay for their treatment and to pay their bills.”
Power then told us a little bit more about this new song and the duo who bring the catchy lyrics to life.
“Am I On A Winner, The song I have written for the IJF is a fun song with a touch of romance. Its by a hugely talented cabaret duo called, Diane Horan Hill and Phil Lee Thomas. Their stage names are Diane&Wilma they perform together at numerous venues across the country.”
You can purchase a copy of the single on CD by heading to the Injured Jockeys Fund online store here.
Or stream the tune on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music or your favourite streaming platform.
Am I On A Winner
Lyrics
Shall I ask him to dance
It’s an each way chance
Could I get lucky with him
I’v been around Robin,
And He was so sweet
But he blew out on me
The Yankee was cute
But was such a galoot
Always playing trixie on me
That Canadian’s smile
But he had no style
Am I on a winner this time
Chorus
Oh meeee oh my
Am I on a winner this time
Oh me oh my
I hope i’m on a winner this time
Verse 2
Well The stakes are high,
And he’s my kind guy
But will even Stephen’s want me.
And Heinz was fine,
but the winning line
Never came close to me
Though Goliath was strong ,
David proved them all wrong
Anything’s possible ,true.
So its with the gods,
and against the odds
Am I on a winner this time
Chorus
Oh meee oh my
Can I be on a winner this time
Oh me oh my
I hope i’m on a winner this time
Verse 3
Well the going’s good
Hopefull he won’t
Take the wrong course on me
Hes holds me tight
In the pale moon light
I like it when he kisses me
He’s firm and strong
But will he stay on
Give me all the love that I need
Well i’ll take that chance
It’s a true romance
Am i’m on a winner this time
Oh Me Oh My
Could I be on a winner this time
Oh Me Oh my
I Hope I’m on a winner this time
Oh me oh my
Can I be on a winner this time
Oh Me Oh My
Could I Be On A Winner
Could I be on a winner
I hope i’m on a winner
Could I be on a winner this time.
