The GCamptown ladies sing this song, D7doo-dah, Gdoo-dah,
the GCamptown racetrack five miles long, oh D7doo-dah Gday.

GGoin' to run all night, Ggoin' to run all day,
I'll Cbet my money on the Gbobtail nag — somebody D7bet on the Gbay.

The Glong-tail filly and the big black horse, D7doo-dah, Gdoo-dah,
they Gfly the track and they both cut across, oh D7doo-dah Gday.
