Текст песни: Ace in the Hole + перевод

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:

But, their names would be mud

Bobby:

Like a chump playin' stud

Both:

If they lost

That old ace

Ace in the hole

Bobby:

Have another drink
