On The Race That Stops A Nation

The race that stops a Nation it was run today
In Flemington Melbourne on the first Tuesday of November the power of money on display
The connections and punters who backed the winner celebrating the Melbourne Cup has been won
And congratulations are in order for a job well done
That horse racing is for the wealthy is only true to say
In thoroughbred racing it has always been this way
At Flemington racecourse on Melbourne Cup day no homeless person there
That money speaks every language is relevant to everywhere
In thoroughbred racing more than most things wealth and affluence is on show
The Melbourne Cup day just one example why the social gap does grow
At Flemington racecourse on Cup day not one homeless person in sight
They will not be celebrating on Melbourne Cup night
For the wealthy and famous just another big day out
That money speaks all languages there can be little doubt.
