Lyrics
( Snuffy Brown plays the piano and sings slowly.)

SnuffY Brown: It's not where you start — it's where you finish. It's not how you go — it's how you land. A hundred-to-one shot, they call him a klutz, Can outrun the favorite — all he needs is the guts! Your final return will not diminish, And you can be the cream of the crop. It's not where you start, it's where you finish, And I'm gonna finish on—

Zoe Pumpkin: Snuffy Brown — hey, Snuffy Brown, listen. Oscar Green says you sang the song too quick. You're gonna have to sing it again, but you only have a minute, OK?

Snuffy Brown: All right. Here we go— (He picks up the tempo.) It's not where you start — it's where you finish. It's not how you go — it's how you land. A hundred-to-one shot, they call him a klutz, Can outrun the favorite — all he needs is the guts — how am I doing? Your final return will not diminish, And you can be the cream of the crop. It's not where you start, it's where you finish, And I'm gonna finish on—

Zoe Pumpkin: (rapidly) Hey, Snuffy Brown, Snuffy Brown, listen. It's my uncle's favorite song. He says he'd like to hear it one more time, but you only have 20 seconds. All right, hit it!

( He REALLY picks up the tempo this time. Zoe Pumpkin checks his watch.)

Snuffy Brown: It's not where you start — it's where you finish. It's not how you go — it's how you land.

Zoe Pumpkin: That's fifteen seconds!

Snuffy Brown: A hundred-to-one shot, they call him a klutz, Can outrun the favorite — all he needs is the guts!

Zoe Pumpkin: Ten seconds!

Snuffy Brown: Your final return will not diminish, And you can be the cream of the crop.

Zoe Pumpkin: Five seconds! Four!

Snuffy Brown: It's not where you start, it's where you finish,

Zoe Pumpkin: Three … two …

Snuffy Brown: And I'm gonna finish on TIME!

( He collapses, out of breath.)

Zoe Pumpkin: Nearly.
