ace in the hole - peter stampfel lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
this town is full of guys
who think they’re awful wise
just because they know a thing or two
you’ll see them night and day
strolling up and down broadway
telling of the wonders they can do

[verse 2]
there’s conmen and there’s boosters
there’s cardsharps and cr*p shooters
they congregate around the metropole
they wear fancy ties and collars
but they way they get their dollars
they all have got their ace down in the hole

[bridge]
some of them send to thе old folks for coin
that is their ace in the holе
others have friends in the old tenderloin
that is their old ace in the hole

[verse 3]
they’ll tell you of trips
they’re going to take
from florida to the north pole
but their names would be mud
like a punk playing stud
if they lost that old ace in the hole
[verse 4]
the more you go around
in good old new york town
you’ll find that what i say to you is true
they’ll meet you with a smile
but you know all the while
that they’re tryna spring something new

[verse 5]
the things they’re always tellin’
of lemons that they’re sellin’
and hundreds that they spend in buying clothes
everyone knows that they’re lyin’
it’s the aces do the buyin’
and dress ‘em from their heads down to their toes

[bridge]
some of them send to the old folks for coin
that is their ace in the hole
others have friends in the old tenderloin
that is their old ace in the hole

[verse 6]
they’ll tell you of money
they may have spent
and then they will flash a big bankroll
they’d be in that breadline
without clothes or a dime
if they lost that old ace in the hole
if they lost that old ace in the hole
