Ace In The Hole (Live)

Johnny：

This town is full of guys

Who think they're mighty wise

Just because they know a thing or two

You'll meet them every day

Strollin' up and down Broadway

Telling of the wonders they have seen

Johnny：

Oh sing it Bobby boy

I just did

Johnny：

There's con men and there's boosters

There's card sharks and crapshooters

Johnny：

They congregate around the Metropole

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

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

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

But their names would be mud

Like a chump playin' stud

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

Just a minute just a minute let the man play his piano solo

Johnny：

But I want to sing tenor

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

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

I think

Sing Melancholy Baby Sing something

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

Volare

Johnny：

But their names would be mud

Like a chump playin' stud

If they lost

That old ace

In the hole

Have another drink
