Ascot Gavotte

Lyrics

[LADIES AND GENTLEMEN] Every duke and earl and peer is here Everyone who should be here is here What a smashing, positively dashing spectacle, the Ascot opening day At the gate are all the horses waiting for the cue to fly away What a gripping, absolutely ripping moment at the Ascot opening day Pulses rushing Faces flushing Heartbeats speed up I have never been so keyed up Any second now, they'll begin to run Hark, a bell is ringing, they are springing forward, look, it has begun What a frenzied moment that was, didn't they maintain an exhausting pace? 'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling running of the Ascot opening race
