Lyrics
The fix is in
The scheme or manipulation is underway
There's a nag gonna dance home at Epsom
Anticipation of a successful outcome, likened to a nag (horse) returning victoriously from Epsom races
The fix is in
Reiteration that the manipulation is in progress
Can't wait to see how it upsets 'em
Excitement about the potential disruption caused by the manipulation
Too many times we've been postally pipped
Reference to past instances of narrowly losing, particularly through postal means
We've loaded the saddles, the mickeys are slipped
Preparations made, including tampering with saddles and slipping substances (mickeys)
We're swapping the turf for the sand and the surf and the sin
Shifting from traditional horse racing settings to a more hedonistic environment with sand, surf, and sin
Cause the fix, the fix is in
Emphasis on the inevitability of the manipulation (the fix)
The fix is in
Reiteration that the scheme is in progress
The odds that I got were delicious
Satisfaction with favorable odds obtained
The fix is in
Reiteration of the ongoing manipulation with a description of the jockey's demeanor
The jockey is cocky and vicious
Characterizing the jockey as confident and aggressive
The redoubtable beast has had Pegasus pills
Describing the horse as having consumed performance-enhancing drugs (Pegasus pills)
We'll buy him the patch in the Tuscany hills
Planning to acquire a patch (possibly a performance enhancement) in Tuscany
And the Vino di Vici will flow like a river in spring
Anticipation of celebration with abundant wine (Vino di Vici) flowing like a spring river
Now the fix, the fix is in
Emphasis on the certainty of the manipulation's success (the fix)
The fix is in
Reiteration of the ongoing manipulation
The snaps of the steward so candid
Acknowledgment of incriminating evidence (snaps) involving race officials (steward)
The fix is in
Reiteration of the manipulation's progress
Yes, our pigeons have finally landed
Claiming success as the manipulated pigeons have landed
The Donahue sisters will meet us in France
Planning a meeting with allies (Donahue sisters) in France
In penguins and pearls, we'll drink and we'll dance
Imagery of extravagant celebration with penguins and pearls
'Til the end of our days 'cause it ain't left to chance that we win
Commitment to enjoying life without leaving success to chance
Cause the fix, the fix is in
Emphasis on the inevitability of winning due to the manipulation (the fix)
