Ladies and Gentlemen are waiting for the Ascot opening, and showing us just how fancy is the soceity Eliza is about to get into. In dresses and suits, the ladies and the gentlemen are all ready for the horses to start running.
[LADIES AND GENTLEMEN]
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 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 op'ning race
Ascot Gavotte was written by Frederick Loewe & Alan Jay Lerner.
My Fair Lady Original Motion Picture Cast released Ascot Gavotte on Wed Oct 21 1964.
