One' morning bright and early. With my top-pleco feeling burly, I was wandering near the racecourse, all alone. When strange sounds assailed my hearing, Seemed to me like distant cheering, On tho racecourse in the pine trees On the hill. Marvelling at this strange commotion, Wondering If 'twas last night's lotion. I turned my wandering footsteps through the gate. Then a strange sight burst upon me. As I leaned against a pine tree. On the racecourse in the pine trees On the hill. There was Russell's red tie gleaklng—■ No, I'll swear I was not dreaming— For he rode old Waltilm with a will. Then came Perc. Johnson on Dummy, And Ernie George on a rummy. On the racecourse lu tho pine trees Oil the hill. Charlie Cochrane rode old Compass, He cried, "Leok out, don't bump us," And we put young Doctor Paget on the rails. It's the "Black Draught Stakes" Afe're running, And dope doctors are so cunning, On the racecourse In the pine trees On the hill. Barlow rode Sylvan Dale in winkers, Mumby's cap was hung with sinkers. And he rode old Sandy Paul in dungarees. Brough, on Te Puia, looked in a lather, Fred Edward's fault, from what I gather, On the racecourse In the plno trees On the hill. Dlclc Johnson hopped on Rewl, lack Hay was on Kal Iwi. Eric Julian had the mount on Shining Star, If it wasn't for his whisker He'd have knocked the lot. a twister, On the racecourse in the pine treei On the hill. Alf. Morse, his dial steaming, And his red nose brightly gloaming, Shouted "Go," and broke the big field, well in line, (Vhile Hector Gray dashed off on Volley, Rode in spllnta—lt seemed a folly. On the racecourse In the pine treei On the hill. But the race It knocked me dilly, Nothing could have looked more silly, For the big field only trotted dora the straight. And on reaching Blewman's cottage. Something seemed to cause a stoppage, i, On the racecourse in the pine trees On tho hill. Up came Emery with a bottle, Dummy Jackson and Bob Cottle. Jimmy Thacker carried out a cask of bse'r. Morse's nose and Mumby's sinkers 1 Got all blurred with Barlow's winkers, I On the racecourse in the pine trees I On the hill. i.| Then the Army started singing. And I heard tho church bells ringing, . While Mick King, lie sang A song of Erin's Isle. Doctor Paget came In a winner, And Paddy Flannigan had a skinner, On the racecourse in the pine trees On tho hill. Then a gruff voice stopped my dreaming, I saw Jervy's whiskers gleaiuiing, He said, "You'd better shift, and not lie here It's a. moral you've been drinking," And he spoke the truth I'm thinking, | On the racecourse in' the pine tree tS on
