Fugue for Tinhorns

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 guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse 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 tell you Paul Revere
Now this is no bum steer
It's from a handicapper that's real sincere

Can do
Can do
This guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do
Can do
Can do




Paul Revere

I'm pickin' Valentine
'Cause on the morning line
A 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 work looks fine
Besides, the jockey's brother's a friend of mine
Needs race
Needs race
This guy 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

RUSTY CHARLIE
But look at Epitaph
He wins it by a half
According to this here in the Telegraph

Big threat
Big threat
Ths 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 his great-grandfather was Equippoise

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

ALL
I got the horse right here
