About

The title of this number is a pun: while “tinhorn” may sound like a musical instrument that could have a fugue written for it, the term also refers to a small-time gambler who pretends to be more important than he is – In short, the very characters who populate the musical.

Fugue For Tinhorns Lyrics

[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

[NICELY]
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
A guy has got him figured at five to nine
Has chance
Has chance
This guy says the horse has chance

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

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
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
"Big Threat"
"Big Threat"
This 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 the great-grandfather was Equipoise

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
If he says the horse needs race
Needs race
Needs race
I'm picking 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
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
[RUSTY CHARLIE]
Epitaph

[BENNY]
Valentine

[NICELY]
Paul Revere

[ALL]
I got the horse right here!
