Lyrics

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, quest que ce tres bon chin chin

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

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

In our nudist camp 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 kmow a girl when nights are fine,

Walked in her sleep she looked divine

Tonight I'm going to walk in mine, 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

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.

(Alternative couplet)

At hunt the button with Miss Moore,

I played for hours and what is more

I found what I was hunting for, I couldn't let the stable down
