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

[BENNY]
I'm pickin' Valentine
'Cause on the morning line
The guy has got him figured
At five to nine

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

[NICELY]
For Paul Revere I'll bite
I hear his foot's all right
Of course it all depеnds
If it rained last night
[NICELY, BENNY]
Likes mud I know its Valentinе
Likes mud The morning works looks fine
This 'X' means the horse likes mud Besides the Jockey's
Likes mud Brothers a friend of mine

[NICELY, BENNY, RUSTY CHARLIE]
If that means that the horse Needs race And just a minute boys
Likes mud Needs race I got the feed box noise
Likes mud This guy says the horse It says the great-grandfather
Likes mud Needs race Was Equipoise
I tell you Paul Revere If he says the horse Shows class
Now this is no bum steer Needs race Shows class
Its from a handicapper Needs race This guy says the horse
Thats real sincere Needs race 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 This guy has got him Shows class
Can do Figured at five to nine Shows class
If he says the horse Has chance So make it Epitaph
Can do Has chance He wins it by half
Can do This guy says the horse According to this here
Can do Has chance In the telegraph
