Ascot Gavotte (From " My Fair Lady")

Ascot Gavotte - My Fair Lady Ensemble/Franz Allers/The My Fair Lady Orchestra

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
