von My Fair Lady

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Ascot Gavotte" stammt aus dem Musical "My Fair Lady" und beschreibt das aufregende und elegante Spektakel ...

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
