There's something that bothers me about these lyrics, specifically Nicely's part. First, he says that Paul Revere "can do", but says it depends on if the weather's clear. But later on, he says that Paul Revere "likes mud". These two statements seem inconsistent to me. I doubt that Mr. Loesser would care! Don |

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. The horse has been recommended on the basis that it likes clear weather (no rain to impede sight & breathing), but likes the going underfoot to be soft ('rained last night, likes mud') |

Despite the handicappers talking about mud, the track was covered with sand. It gets wet, but it drains fast and it's not sticky when wet. In Missouri where I live, we get muds that are so sticky they could glue a horse in place. That is not what they put on the tracks. Apparently some horses just don't like wet ground and others don't care. When the sand is wet, a bettor wants to know which is which. |
