Ascot Gavotte Lyrics

Ascot Gavotte lyrics

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
