"In the thick of the evening

when the dealing got rough"

Huh? Did Jerry really sing this ever? I always assumed it was "in the heat of the evening when the dealer got rough."

Yeah...he changed stuff like vowels to consonants or vice versa to make stuff easier to sing--more smooth off the tongue--but he definitely NEVER sang the word 'thick" on that line, at least none that I've ever heard.

I think he started out singing 'dealin' and then it changed to 'dealer' at some point in time but I have no idea when--probably within the first 10 Scarlets is my guess.
