Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCB DBDBEEEB FBFBGGGB HBHBIIIB| Come all ye bold trainers attend to my song | A |
| It's a rule of the A J C | B |
| You mustn't train ponies for that's very wrong | A |
| By the rules of the A J C | B |
| You have to wear winkers when crossing the street | C |
| For fear that a pony you'd happen to meet | C |
| If you hear one about you must beat a retreat | C |
| That's a rule of the A J C | B |
| - | |
| And all ye bold owners will find without fail | D |
| By the rules of the A J C | B |
| The jockey boys' fees you must pay at the scale | D |
| It's a rule of the A J C | B |
| When your horse wins a fiver you'll laugh I'll be bound | E |
| But you won't laugh so much by the time that you've found | E |
| That the fee to the boy is exactly ten pound | E |
| That's a rule of the A J C | B |

| And all ye bold 'Books' who are keeping a shop | F |
| In the rules of the A J C | B |
| There's a new regulation that says you must stop | F |
| That's a rule of the A J C | B |
| You must give up your shop with its pipes and cigars | G |
| To an unlicensed man who is thanking his stars | G |
| While you go and bet in the threepenny bars | G |
| That's a rule of the A J C | B |
| - | |
| And all ye small jockeys who ride in a race | H |
| In the rules of the A J C | B |
| If owners' instructions are 'Don't get a place' | H |
| By the rules of the A J C | B |
| You must ride the horse out though of course if you do | I |
| You will get no more mounts it's starvation to you | I |
| But bless you you'll always find plenty to chew | I |
| In the rules of the A J C | B |
