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.)
