The De luxe

A`lleys in boys a`lleys in boys,
that`s old Jack,I know his voice,
who`s in the twos ? the cry goes out,
quickly before Jack,shakes them out,
wait on wait on,here`s one in,
add another a`lley,before we begin,
someone says,a dozen sounds sweet,
someone says need it,hard to beat,
that was that,all but wins,
guy with the break,and point ball grins,
crack NO!,it didn`t go in,
second player up,workers a plenty,
wooops mis-cue,pocket stays empty,
oh no! here he is,dead eye dick,
beat you hands down,with a broom stick,
he`s got a sitter,you know he`ll get it,
so rack`m up,and just forget it,
A`lleys in boys,short`n`sweet,
that dead eye dick,is hard to beat,
not where the quids are,don`t you know?
win those shakes,to make big dough,
they say it`s a sign,of mis-spent youth,
guess there could be,an element of truth.
