And that’s how the Varsities come to the Race?
How do the Ladies come down to the Race?—
With a rustle and bustle, and zest for the tussle,
With a hustle and jostle, and tearing of lace.
With a gushing and blushing, and little feet rushing,
And pushing and crushing to get a good place.
With a petting and getting the odds in the betting,
And letting their fretting be seen in their face:
With a swarming so charming, in toilettes alarming,
And that’s how the Ladies come down to the Race!
