- Verse:
- This town is full of guys,
Who think theyre mighty wise, Just because they know a
thing or two.
- Youll meet them night
and day, Strollin up and down Broadway, Telling of the
wonders they can do.
- Theres con men and
theres boosters, Theres card sharks and crapshooters,
They congregate around the Metropole.
- They wear flashy ties and
collars, But the way they get their dollars, They all have got
an ace, stuck in the hole.
-
- Chorus:
- Some of them send to their
old folks for coin,
- That is their Ace In The
Hole.
- Others have friends in the
old Tenderloin,
- That is their Ace In The
Hole.
- They tell you of trips that
theyre going to take from
- Florida to the North Pole.
- But their name would be
'mud,' Like a "punk" playing "stud,"
- If they lost that old Ace
In The Hole.
