Fugue For Tinhorns Lyrics

Nicely-Nicely:
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
guys says the horse can do,
If he says the horse can do,
Can do,
Can
do
Can do.
Can do,
Can do,
This guy says the horse can do
If he
says the horse can do,
Can do,
Can do.
For Paul Revere I'll bite,
I
hear his foot's all right.
Of course it all depends if it rained last
night.
Likes mud,
Likes mud,
This "x" means the horse likes mud,
If
that means the horse likes mud,
Likes mud,
Likes mud.
I'll tell you
Paul Revere,
Now this is no bum steer,
It's from a handicapper that's
real sincere.
This guy says the horse shows class,
Can do,
Can
do,
Paul Revere,
I got the horse right here.

Benny:
I'm picking
Valentine,
Cause on the morning line,
This guy has got him figured at five
to nine
Has chance,
Has chance,
This guy says the horse has
chance,
If he says the horse has chance,
Has chance,
Has chance.
I
know it's Valentine,
The morning works looks fine.
Besides the Jockey's
brother's a friend of mine.
Needs race,
Needs race,
My friend says the
horse needs race.
If he says the horse needs race,
Needs race,
Needs
race.
I go for Valentine,
Cause on the morning line,
The guy has got
him figured at five to nine.
Has chance,
Has chance,
This guy says the
horse has chance.
Valentine,
I got the horse right
here.

Rusty:
But look at Epitaph,
He wins it by a
half,
According to this here in the Telegraph,
Big threat,
Big
threat,
This guy calls the horse big threat.
If he calls the horse big
threat,
Big threat
Big threat.
And just a minute boys,
I've got the
feed box noise,
It says the great grandfather was Equipoise.
Shows
class,
Shows class,
This guy says the horse shows class,
If he says
the horse shows class,
Shows class,
Shows class.
So make it
Epitaph,
He wins it by a half,
According to this here in the
Telegraph.
Epitaph
I got the horse right here.
