Ace in the Hole - Bobby Darin/Johnny Mercer
Written by:James Dempsey/George Mitchell
This town is full of guys
Who think they're mighty wise
Just because they know a thing or two
You'll meet them night and day
Strollin' up and down Broadway
Telling of the wonders
They can do oh sing it bobby boy
I just did
There's con men and there's boosters
There's card sharks and crapshooters
They congregate around the Metropole
If I knew what that meant I would agree with him
They wear flashy ties and collars
Yes but where do they get there dollars
They all have got an ace down in the hole
Yes and some
Of them write
To the old folks for coin
And that is their ace in the hole
And others have friends on the old Tenderloin
That's their old ace in the hole
Why they'll tell you of trips
That they're going to make
From Florida
To the North pole
The fact is their names would be mud
Just like a chump playin' stud
If they lost
That old ace in the hole
Oh yes now some of them write
You'll find a lot of them write to the
Let the man play his piano solo
But I want to sing tenor
I don't really care if you sing ten or twenty minutes
After he's through playin' piano
Listen too 'em I think I make it better than
He does
Well that's the nastiest remark I've ever heard
Listen now if you don't like the way I sing
Why don't you sing
Sing melancholy baby sing something
Why they tell you
Of the trips
Mm they're gonna make
Over to Florida
All the way up to the North pole
Oh let him
But their names would be mud
Like a chump
Playin' stud if they lost
That old ace
