Johnny:
This town is full of guys
Who think they're mighty wise
Just because they know a thing or two.

Bobby:
You 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 conmen 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 their dollars?

Both:
They all have got an ace down in the hole.

Johnny:
Yes, 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 chump playin' stud

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

Johnny:
Oh yes, some of them write
You'll find a lot of them write to the--

Bobby:
(as W.C. Fields) 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 to ‘em, I think I make it better than he does.

Bobby:
(as Groucho) That's the nastiest remark I've ever heard.

Johnny:
Listen now, if you don't like the way I sing, why don't you sing -
Sing Melancholy Baby! Sing something!

Bobby:
(as Dean Martin) Why they tell you of the trips they're going to make
Over 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.
