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 can see them every day, strolling up and down Broadway |
Telling of the wonders they can do |
You’ll see wise guys and boosters |
Card sharps and crap shooters |
They congregate around the Metropole |
They wear those flashy ties and collars |
But where they get their dollars |
They’ve all got an ace down in the hole |
Some of them write to the old folks for coin |
That’s their ace in the hole |
Others have girls on that old tenderloin |
That’s their ace in the hole |
They’ll tell you of trips they are going to take |
From Frisco up to the North Pole |
But they’d end up on that line, in their clothes not a dime |
If they lost that old ace in the hole |
Wherever you might stray, along the Great White Way |
They’ll corner you and start in telling lies |
Of oil wells in Nebraska and gold mines in Alaska |
You’ll be immersed in bullshit to your eyes |
But every hustler knows |
Bullshit buys no clothes |
And only cold cash keeps you off the dole |
So some of them wash dishes |
And some of them are snitches |
But all of them have aces in the hole |
Drifters who dwell on that slippery slope |
Grifters who jump their parole |
Trying to sell bags of catnip for dope |
That’s their ace in the hole |
They’ll tell you of money they’ve made and they’ve spent |
And flash a Missouri bankroll |
But their names would be mud |
Like a chump dealing stud |
If they lost that old ace in the hole |
