<br>

Ladies and Gentlemen <br>

Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here <br>

Ev'ryone who should be here is here. <br>

What a smashing, positively dashing <br>

Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day. <br>

At the gate are all the horses <br>

Waiting for the cue to fly away. <br>

What a gripping, absolutely ripping <br>

Moment at the Ascot op'ning day. <br>

Pulses rushing! Faces flushing! <br>

Heartbeats speed up! I have never been so keyed up! <br>

And second now They'll begin to run. Hark! <br>

A bell is ringing, They are springing Forward Look!<br>

It has begun...! What a frenzied moment that was! <br>

Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace? <br>

'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling Running of the <br>

Ascot op'ning race.<br>
