Ace in the Hole Songtext
von Connie Francis

This town is full of boys
Who thinks they′re all full of wise
Just because they know a thing or two

You can meet 'em night and day
Strolling up and down broadway
Bragging of the wonders, they can do

There′s canon and there is boosters
Jazzy card men and crapshooters
Who congregate around the Metropole

Everybody knows they're lying
That the aces do the buying
They dress 'em from the hips
To there fancy toes

Some of them sent
To the old folks for coin
That′s their ace in the hole


Others have the buddies
In the old tenderloin
They all got their ace in the hole

They′ll tell you of trips
That they are going to take
South to Florida
Right up to the North Pole

Then take powder
And then their name would mud
Like a moocher playing the stud
If they lost that old ace down in the hole

Here there are full of the sweetest music
This side of Yampers
Hope there's ace in there

They′ll tell you of money
Of the hundred, they've spent
And the smoothness will flash, a bankroll

Oh that hear the bloodline
Without pulls or down
If they lost that old ace down in the hole
If they lost that old ace in the hole
