Banjo Paterson - The Riders in the Stand
Work rating: Low

There`s some that ride the Robbo style, and bump at every stride;
While others sit a long way back, to get a longer ride.
There`s some that ride as sailors do, with legs, and arms, and teeth;
And some that ride the horse`s neck, and some ride underneath.

But all the finest horsemen out — the men to Beat the Band —
You`ll find amongst the crowd that ride their races in the Stand.
They`ll say "He had the race in hand, and lost it in the straight."
They`ll know how Godby came too soon, and Barden came too late.


They`ll say Chevalley lost his nerve, and Regan lost his head;
They`ll tell how one was "livened up" and something else was "dead" —
In fact, the race was never run on sea, or sky, or land,
But what you`d get it better done by riders in the stand.

The rule holds good in everything in life`s uncertain fight;
You`ll find the winner can`t go wrong, the loser can`t go right.
You ride a slashing race, and lose — by one and all you`re banned!
Ride like a bag of flour, and win — they`ll cheer you in the Stand
