Ascot Gavotte

Ascot Gavotte ( From "my Fair Lady" ) - My Fair Lady Original Broadway Cast Singing Ensemble

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
