Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBAD D AEF GHIHJKGK| 'Sure thing ' said the grocer 'as far as I know sir | A |
| This horse Peter Pan is the safest of certs ' | B |
| 'I see by the paper ' commanded the draper | A |
| 'He's tipped and he carries my whole weight of shirts ' | B |
| The butcher said 'Well now it's easy to tell now | C |
| There's nothing else in it except Peter Pan ' | B |
| And so the baker the barman bookmaker | A |
| The old lady char and the saveloy man | D |

| 'You stick to my tip man ' admonished the grip man | D |
| 'Play up Peter Pan he's a stayer with speed ' | - |

| I backed Peter Pan with the last that I had ' | - |
| 'Too right ' said the liftman 'The horse is a gift man ' | - |
| The old jobbing gardener said 'Peter Pan lad ' | - |
| - | |
| I know nought of racing The task I was facing | G |
| It filled me with pain and unreasoning dread | H |
| They all seemed so certain And yet a dark curtain | I |
| Of doubt dulled my mind But I must keep my head | H |
| I went to the races and I watched all their faces | J |
| I saw Peter Pan's there was little he lacked | K |
| And as he seemed willing I planked on my shilling | G |
| And triumphed And that's how the favorite was backed | K |
