Bobby Darin Lyrics
Ace in the Hole

[Johnny:]
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:9
But, their names would be mud.

[Bobby:]
Like a chump playin' stud.

[Both:9
If they lost
that old ace
ace in the hole.

[Bobby:]
Have another drink.
