bobby darin - ace in the hole lyrics
johnny:
this town is full of guys
who think they’re mighty wise
just because they know a thing or two.
bobby:
you’ll meet them every day
strollin’ up and down broadway
telling of the wonders they have seen.
johnny:
oh, sing it, bobby boy!
bobby:
i just did!
johnny:
there’s con men and there’s boosters.
bobby:
there’s card sharks and cr-pshooters.
johnny:
they congregate around the metropole.
bobby:
if i knew what that meant i would agree with him.
they wear flashy ties and collars.
johnny:
yes, but where do they get there dollars?
both:
they all have got an ace down in the hole.
johnny:
yes, and some of them write
to the old folks for coin
and that is their ace in the hole.
bobby:
and others have friends on the old tenderloin
that’s their old ace in the hole.
johnny:
why, they’ll tell you of trips
that they’re going to make
from florida
to the north pole.
bobby:
but their names would be mud
like a chump playin’ stud.
both:
if they lost that old ace in the hole.
johnny:
oh, yes, now, some of them write
you’ll find a lot of them write to the …
bobby:
just a minute, just a minute, let the man play his piano solo.
johnny:
but, i want to sing tenor!
bobby:
i don’t really care if you sing ten or twenty minutes, after he’s through playin’ piano.
johnny:
listen too ‘em, i think i make it better than he does.
bobby:
well, that’s the nastiest remark i’ve ever heard.
both:
listen now, if you don’t like the way i sing, why don’t you sing …
i think …
sing melancholy baby! sing something! …
bobby:
why they tell you of the trips
they’re gonna make
over to florida
all the way up to the north pole.
johnny:
oh, it’s sad, sad.
bobby:
volare!!
johnny:
but, their names would be mud.
bobby:
like a chump playin’ stud.
both:
if they lost
that old ace
in the hole.
bobby:
have another drink.
