I've heard the legends from days gone by
When people speak of them you see a sparkle in their eye
But in the times that we live in people come from near and far
To see one of the greatests his name is Kauto Star
The best chaser in the world
As he jumps and as he stays
Dominating all divisions and all others at the grade
And on those golden days in March he came storming up the hill
Winning two Gold Cups impressively, giving racing such a thrill
And they're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
Last years racing season was not to be his time
Third at Kempton and Cheltenham and pulled up in the emerald isle
Some said after that year it was time to then retire
But Ruby, Paul and Clive knew that to run was his desire
So on clear November Saturday on the turf at Haydock Park
Thousands they gathered with their hats, badges and scarves
Kauto versus Long Run a close match up to be
But it was Ruby who came out on top and went down in history
And they're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
Christmas time at Kempton was the next chapter to be
The drive for five King Georges and a place in history
And as Kauto led them round the bend the festive crowd did roar
Long Run came and joined him but the old boy, he found more
And they're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
Kauto, Kauto Star
Oh yeah
Kauto, Kauto Star
When that day comes when it's over
We'll only then realise
How privileged we have been to have the star shine in our eyes
So cheer him home all the way up the hill so straight and long
And we'll raise a glass to Kauto and together we'll sing along
They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
They're talking in the streets and they're talking in the bar
But you'll never see the like of Ruby Walsh and Kauto Star
