Fugue for Tinhorns Lyrics by Barry Manilow

The Complete Collection and Then Some...

1991

I got the horse right here
His name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy who 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
I'm picking Valentine
'cause on the morning line
The guy has got him figured at 5 to 9
Has chance, has chance
This guy says the horse has chance
If he says the horse has chance
Has chance, has chance
No way, for Paul Revere I'll bite
I hear his foot's all right
Of course it all depends
If it rained last night
I know it's Valentine
The morning work looked fine
Besides the jockey's brother's a friend of mine
Needs race, needs race
This guy says the horse needs BRAKES
He says that the horse needs BRAKES
Needs raceBRAKES, needs BRAKES
Likes mud, likes mud, this "x" means the horse likes mud, likes mud
If that means the horse likes mud, like mud, likes mud
He likes mud, this horse likes mud
Mud, he likes mud
Hey wait a minute fellows
Have you considered this
Well, anyway, it's my turn to sing
So shut up
Really?
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
I'll 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
I go for Valentine
Cause on the morning line
The guy has got him figured 5 to 9
Has chance, has chance
The guy says the horse has chance
So make it Epitaph, he wins it by a half
According to this here in the "Telegraph"
Paul Revere
Valentine
Epitaph
I got the horse right here
