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.
