Ace In The Hole
This town is full of guys
Who think they're mighty wise
Just because they know a thing or two
You see them every day
Walkin' up and down Broadway
Telling of the wonders they can do
There's con men and there's boosters
Card sharks and crap-shooters
They congregate around the Metropole
They wear fancy ties and laces
But where do they get their aces
They all have got an ace down in the hole
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
They'll tell you of trips that they're going to take
From Florida to the North Pole
The fact is, their name would be mud
Like a chump playing stud
If they lost that old ace down in the hole
Who think they're mighty wise
Just because they know a thing or two
You see them every day
Walkin' up and down Broadway
Telling of the wonders they can do
There's con men and there's boosters
Card sharks and crap-shooters
They congregate around the Metropole
They wear fancy ties and laces
But where do they get their aces
They all have got an ace down in the hole
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
They'll tell you of trips that they're going to take
From Florida to the North Pole
The fact is, their name would be mud
Like a chump playing stud
If they lost that old ace down in the hole
