[Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] There's a bustle in the city, there's excitement [Db] in the scrub,
[Eb] There's a drone of rowdy voices in every [Ab] Aussie pub.
For a year we've all been waiting and we've put our [Db] money up,
[Eb] And we're out to back the winner of the [Ab] famous Melbourne Cup.
There's a pause in all production for our minds are [Db] on the race,
[Eb] And it's time when all our worries are forgotten [Ab] for a space.
And the women cease their talking, turn the radio [Db] well up,
[Eb] And with whippin' spur they're waiting for the starting [Ab] of the Cup.
[Db] And the TABs are crowded [Ab] as the thunders rush and push,
They've held a sweep in every pub in city [Eb] and in bush.
[Ab] Then a mighty cheering follows as the barrier [Db] goes up,
And [Eb] there's a thousand jockeys spurring every racer in [Ab] the Cup.

[F] Every Aussie heart is beating with excitement [Bb] of the game.

There are millions who have never even sat upon a horse,
Whether it be outing cattle or racing on the course.
And it's doubtful if they'd even know the way to [Eb] saddle up,
But [F] they take a lot of beating when they're racing in [Bb] the Cup.
[Eb] Now the famous race is over [Bb] for another hopeful year,
[C] There's a lot of smiling faces and there's others [F] shedding tears.
[Bb] There's a battler made of fortune and a wealthy [Eb] man had up,
But [F] win or lose they're waiting now for next year's [Bb] Melbourne Cup.
