I've read your latest question
Front to back and to and fro
But I can't figure here and now
Just what you want to know
I first encountered this in school
A metered counting rhyme
I don't remember more than that
Being seven at the time
There is a slightly different take
For fans of rhythm and blues
Elvis used to sing it at the
Start of "Blue Suede Shoes."
I have found citations
Dated Eighteen Seventy-Two

What is the origin and meaning of the phrase one to get ready two to go three for the show?
The original is "One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go." The origins seem to be lost in time, but it seems to be based on horse racing. The jingle is used by children as a countdown to start races, and variations on it can be found in children's books from the 1800s. (The rhyme appears as "One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go cat, go" in Elvis Presley's "Blue Suede Shoes", written by Carl Perkins in 1956. In that context it means "get ready, folks, we're taking off!" Carl Perkins likely remembered it from his own childhood. He did NOT originate it. I was a child in the late 1940s and '50s, and we used it then.)
