Fugue for Tinhorns

1950 Frank Loesser (featured in the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls)
“Twelve years before writing “Fugue for Tinhorns,” Loesser was taken to a racetrack by Jule Styne, who said Loesser “was crazy about the racing form and the phrase ‘can do’ after a horse’s name”, which Styne said was Loesser’s inspiration for the song.”-Wikipedia

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 guys says the horse can do,
If he says the horse can do,
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.
