FUGUE FOR TINHORNS (Guys & Dolls)
A's part:
I got a 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, 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!
B's part:
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.
If he says the horse has chance, has chance, has chance.
I know it's Valentine, the morning works look 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's got him figured at 5 to 9,
Has chance, has chance,
This guy says the horse has chance.
Valentine! I got the horse right here!
C's part:
But look at Epitaph, he wins it by a half,
According to this hare 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.
And just a minute boys,
I got the feedbax 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.
So make it Epitaph he wins it by a half,
According to this hare in the telegraph,
Epitaph! I got the horse right here!

Smile, though your heart is aching...
(I love Jimmy Durante's version of this!)
Smile though your heart is aching..
Smile even though it's breaking..
When there are clouds way up in the sky..
You're gonna get by..
If you Smile through your fear and sorrow..
Smile, and maybe, maybe tomorrow..
You'll see the sun come shining through,
....for you..
Ohhhh, light, light up your face,
with gladness.. Come on ......
Hide every trace of sadness..
Although a tear.. may be ever so near..
That's the time.. you must keep on trying..
Oh, you gotta Smile.. what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life.. is still worthwhile..
If you just Smile.
