Fugue for Tinhorns

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 (I'm pickin' Valentine)
Can do ('cause on the morning line)
This guy says the horse can do (The guy has got him figured at five to nine)
If he says the horse can do (Has chance, has chance) (But look at Epitaph, he wins it by a half)
Can do, can do (This guy says the horse has chance) (According to this here in the Telegraph)

For Paul Revere I'll bite (This guy says the horse) ("Big Threat")
I hear his foot's all right (has chance) ("Big Threat")
Of course it all depends (has chance) (This guy calls the horse)
If it rained last night (has chance) ("Big Threat")

Likes mud (I know it's Valentine) (If he calls the horse)
Likes mud (the morning work looks fine) ("Big Threat")
This "X" means the horse likes mud (Besides the jockey's brother's a friend of mine) (Big Threat, Big Threat)
If that means the horse likes mud (Needs race, needs race) (And just a minute, boys, I've got the feed box noise)
Likes mud, likes mud (this guy says the horse needs race) (It says the great-grandfather was Equipoise)

I tell you Paul Revere (If he says the horse) (Shows class)
Now this is no bum steer (needs race) (shows class)
It's from a handicapper that's real sincere (needs race, needs race) (This guy says the horse shows class)
Can do (I go for Valentine) (If he says the horse)
Can do ('Cause on the morning line) (shows class)
This guy says the horse can do (The guy has got him figured at five to nine) (Shows class, shows class)
If he says the horse can do (Has chance, has chance) (So make it Epitaph, he wins it by a half)
Can do, can do (this guy says the horse has chance) (According to this here in the Telegraph)

Epitaph!
Valentine!
Paul Revere!
