The Melbourne Cup(1983年Slim Dusty演唱的歌曲)

歌曲歌詞

There's a bustle in the city

There's excitement in the scrubs

There's a drone of rowdy voices in every Aussie pub

For a year we've all been waiting

And we've put our money up

And we're out to back the winner

Of the famous Melbourne Cup

There's a pause in all production

For our minds are on the race

And it's time that all our worries

Are forgotton for a space

And the women cease their talking

Turn the radio well up

And with whippin' spur their waiting

For the starting of the Cup

And the T A B 's are crowded

And the punters rush and push

They've held a sweep

In every pub in city and in bush

Then a mighty cheering follows

As the barrier goes up

And there's a thousand jockey's spurring

Every race their in the cup

The first Tuesday of November

Every year it is the same

Every Aussie heart is beating

With excitement of the game

For they bet on dream or fancy

Or the forms they've followed up

From a dollar up to thousands

On the famous Melbourne Cup

There are millions who have

Never even sat upon a horse

Whether it be yarding cattle
