Lyrics
( Barn plays the piano and sings slowly.)

Barn: 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—

Cheese: Barn — hey, Barn, listen. Pickle says you sang the song too quick. You're gonna have to sing it again, but you only have a minute, OK?

Barn: 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—

Cheese: (rapidly) Hey, Barn, Barn, 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. Cheese checks his watch.)

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

Cheese: That's fifteen seconds!

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

Cheese: Ten seconds!

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

Cheese: Five seconds! Four!

Barn: It's not where you start, it's where you finish,

Cheese: Three … two …

Barn: And I'm gonna finish on TIME!

( He collapses, out of breath.)

Cheese: Nearly.
