The Melbourne Cup - Slim Dusty
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
Or racing on the course
And it's doubtful if
They'd even know the way to saddle up
But they take a lot of beating
When they're racing in the cup
Now the famous race is over
For another hopeful year
There's a lot of smiling faces
And there's others shedding tears
There's a battler made a fortune
And a wealthy man hard-up
But win or lose they're waiting
Now for next year's Melbourne Cup
Oh that's right
There's a bustle in the city
There's excitement in the scrubs
There's a drone of rowdy voices
In every Aussie pub
And the battler makes a fortune
And a wealthy man hard-up
But win or lose they're waiting
For the next Melbourne Cup
There's a bustle in the city
There's excitement in the scrubs
And a drone of rowdy voices in every Aussie pub
And the battler makes a fortune
And a wealthy man hard-up
