All right Tramp! I played Happy the Chinaman for $50,000! I played Ralph Greenleaf 1,000 nights in a row, and I beat him every night! Andrew Ponzi was a girl. I beat him like a drum! I played 'em all and I beat 'em all. Are you sure you're up for this?

Uptown got it's hustlers
Bowery got it's bums
And 42nd street got big Wayne Walker
He's a pool shootin' son of a gun
Ya, he's big and strong as a man can come
And riper than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big Jim "Boss", just because! And they say
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Wayne, da do da do etc. etc.
Well out of south Downeast come a country boy
He said, "I'm looking for a man named Jim
I am a pool shootin' boy, my name is Trampy McCoy
But down home they call me Slim
And I'm looking for the king of 42nd street
He's driving a drop-top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money, and it may sound funny
But I've come to get my money back," and everybody said, Tramp, don't you know
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Wayne, da do da do etc. same as the last time..
Well a hush fell over the pool room
When Wayne he come boppin' off the street
And when the cuttin' was done
The only part that wasn't bloody was the...was the..
Well, shit, I can't remember how the rest of this goes.
Who the hell wins this thing, boys?
Last match I heard Tramp was in, he was spitting on some lunk's boots and drawing a bead on an 8-ball dead on a cushion.

Where was I anyway?
Tramp: Ames Billiards
Before the high-stakes exciting pool game before a large audience, in the seamy, smoky, sleazy, and boozy atmosphere of the pool hall, Fats ritualistically washes his hands in a side-room and sprinkles talcum powder on them. In his gut, Eddie feels "tight but good." During the game, the wagered bills are held by Willie (Willie Mosconi himself). The tension begins to mount between the two players even after the first shot:
Eddie: Didn't leave you much.
Fats: You left enough.
Running that red block Charlie.
Was the soles of the big man's feet
Yeah he were cut in in bout a hundred places
And he were shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They sung a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor now they say
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim
Yeah, big Jim got his hat
Find out where it's at
And it's not hustlin' people strange to you
Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue
Yeah you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim
Running that red block Charlie.
