[Lyric] Fugue For Tinhorns (Frank Loesser)

I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do, can do, can do

Are you crazy?
Can do; I'm pickin' Valentine
Can do; 'cause on the morning line
This guy says the horse can do; A guy has got him figured at five to nine
If he says the horse; Has chance; But look at Epitaph
Can do; Has chance ; He wins it by a half
Can do; This guy says the horse has chance; According to this
Can do; here in thе Telegraph

I tell ya Epitaph...
Valеntine...
Paul Revere...

I got the horse right here!
The morning work looks fine
I know it's Valentine
Besides the jockey's brother's a friend of mine
Needs race; Now just a minute, boys
Needs race; I've got the feed box noise
My friend says the horse needs race; It says the great-grandfather was Equipoise

For Paul Revere I'll bite; This guy says; Shows class
I hear his foot's all right; the horse needs race; Shows class
Of course it all depends if it rained last night; Needs race, needs race; This guy says the horse shows class

I tell ya Epitaph...
Valentine...
Paul Revere...

I got the horse right here!

I'm picking Valentine
'Cause on the morning line
The guy has got him figured at five to nine
Has chance; Hey make it Epitaph
Has chance; He wins it by a half
This guy says the horse has chance; According to this here in the Telegraph

I tell you Paul Revere; This guy says the horse has chance; He needs race
Now this is no bum steer; Needs race
It's from a handicapper that's real sincere; Has chance, has chance; This guy says the horse needs race
I tell ya Epitaph...
Valentine...
Paul Revere...

I got the horse right here!
