My Fair Lady: Ascot Gavotte

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.
Any 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.
