    What with bookies, bobbies, backers,
    And roulette men, too, I ween,
    With the pipers, fiddlers, dancers,
    All assembled on the green,
    What with horses wild with jockeys,
    Unconcernedly astride,
    There's bound to be excitement
    And fun, surley, too, at Loyd.
    The gentle sea you'll see them too,
    In costly dress arrayed,
    There the latest Paris fashions
    You bet, will be displayed.
    Yes, everyone is going,
    Racing there must be enjoyed
    For reclining on the hillside,
    You can view the race at Loyd.
