> [@Ocean City](#): > > Well, he may be saying “Rolled up like a”, but I refuse to accept that he is saying “deuce”. He is clearly pronunciating DOO-SH, not DOO-CE. The next words are, “you know, the runner in the night.” If you slur the sibilant from the end of “deuce” into the beginning of “you,” it’s very likely to turn into a “sh” sound. ---

It’s ‘Wrapped up like a deuce; another runner in the night.’ I’m guessing ‘wrapped up’ means ‘made into a hotrod’. The ‘deuce’, as noted, is a ‘deuce coupé’ (i.e., a 1932 Ford). ‘Another runner in the night’ – That’s what you do with a deuce coupé, run it (cruising the boulevard, or drag racing). ---
