Songtext von Ascot Gavotte

Ladies and Gentlemen Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here Ev'ryone who should be here is here What a smashing, positively dashing Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day At the gate are all the horses Waiting for the cue to fly away What a gripping, absolutely ripping Moment at the Ascot op'ning 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 op'ning race
