[LADIES & 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
And 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
