I Couldn't Let The Stable Down

I'm faithful to my comrades

My motto's loyalty

I run straight with my stable mates

And they run straight with me

Come on George

You'll hear them roar

Ten to one I'll start for sure

I'll pass the post

By half past four

I couldn't let the stable down

To race in France

I'll begin

"Qu'est que c'est tres bonne chance"

I learnt that off a sardine tin

I couldn't let the stable down

We've got pride

Put on side

Ride the high horse too

If we're late

At the starting gate

The horse will pull us through

Cast-off clothes I used to sell

In riding breeches I look swell

A girl said "Cast off those as well"

I couldn't let the stable down

Near the town hall yesterday

With my horse I couldn't stay

They said the mayor might come that way

And I couldn't let the stable down

"Your stomach's wrong" said Doctor Drew

"Diet" I said "if I do"

My favourite colours are pink and blue

I couldn't let the stable down

In a new disc and by gosh

What I wear makes me look posh

A nice transparent Mackintosh

I couldn't let the stable down

With Violet I went in a wood

The wood violets were all in bud

When I found out that Violet would

I couldn't let the stable down

I know a girl when nights are fine

Walks in her sleep she looks divine

Tonight I'm going to walk in mine

I couldn't let the stable down

A dame said "For a sport that's real

Shoot at my country seat at Deal"

I hit it three times off the reel

I couldn't let the stable down
