[Verse 1: Frank Loesser]
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

[Verse 2: Frank Loesser, Sue Bennett]
Can do (Are you crazy? I'm pickin' Valentine )
Can do (’Cause on the mornin' line)
This guy says (The guy has got him)
The horse can do (Figured at five to nine)

[Verse 3: Frank Loesser, Sue Bennett & Milton DeLugg]
If he says the horse (Has chance) (But look at Epitaph)
Can do (Has chance) (He wins it by a half)
Can do (This guy says the horse) (According to this here)
Can do (Has chance) (In the Telegraph)

[Chorus: Frank Loesser, Sue Bennett, Milton DeLugg, All]
I tell you, Epitaph
Valentine
Paul Revere
I got the horse right here!
[Verse 4: Sue Bennett]
The morning works look fine
I know it's Valentine
Besides, the jockey's brother's a friend of mine

[Verse 5: Sue Bennett & Milton DeLugg]
Needs race (Now just a minute, boys)
Needs race (I got the feed box noise)
This guy says the horse (It says the great-grandfather)
Needs race (Was Equipoise)

[Verse 6: Sue Bennett, Milton DeLugg & Frank Loesser]
If he says the horse (Shows class) (For Paul Revere I'll bite)
Needs race (Shows class) (I hear his foot's alright)
Needs race (This guy says the horse) (Of course it all depends)
Needs race (Shows class) (If it rained last night)

[Chorus: Sue Bennett, Milton DeLugg, Frank Loesser, All]
I tell you, Epitaph
Valentine
Paul Revere
I got the horse right here!

[Verse 7: Sue Bennett]
I know it's Valentine
’Cause on the mornin’ line
The guy has got him figured at five to nine
[Verse 8: Sue Bennett & Milton DeLugg]
Has chance (Hey, make it Epitaph)
Has chance (He wins it by a half)
This guy says the horse (According to this here)
Has chance (In the Telegraph)

[Verse 9: Sue Bennett, Milton DeLugg & Frank Loesser]
If he says the horse (He needs race) (I tell you Paul Revere)
Has chance (Needs race) (Now this is no bum steer)
Has chance (This guy says the horse) (It's from a handicapper)
Has chance (Needs race) (That’s real sincere)

[Chorus: Sue Bennett, Milton DeLugg, Frank Loesser, All]
I tell you, Epitaph
Valentine
Paul Revere
I got the horse right here!
