Catchy Little Number

[YT=Fugue for Tinhorns]NxAX74gM8DY[/YT]The lyrics nail the vagaries of the game.

I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here's a guy that says that 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 got the horse right here.

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! I got the horse right here.

But look at Epitaph. he wins it by a half
According to this here in the Telegraph

This guy calls the horse
If he calls the horse
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, show's 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!

I always liked the line about "got him figured at five-to-nine" (which I assume should have been "nine-to-five" except that then the rhyme scheme wouldn't have worked out). Permissible poetic license, I suppose. (What would 5-9 work out to -- $3.10 with nickel breakage, or $3.00 with dime breakage? I'd prefer $5.60 on a 9-5 shot any day (provided that he was an overlay at that price, of course)!
