Bobby Darin, Johnny Mercer - Ace In The Hole
Song lyrics
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 night and day
Strollin' up and down Broadway
Telling of the wonders they can do.
[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 crapshooters.
[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:]
The fact is their name would be mud
Just like a chum 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
Ace in the hole.
[Bobby:]
Have another drink.
