I used to hang out at jack's pool hall
  you go down there and don't do nothin'at all
  if you anted to play some cards there was a game in the back
  if you wanted to shoot or some' you went and talked to jack
  if you had little money you was a grade A fool
  there was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool
  
  rack 'em up, rack 'em up , yeah rack 'em up, rack 'em up
  till the day he was dead that all they ever said
  rack 'em up
  
  he didn't own a tv set, didn't own a car
  he ate what whatever jack was makin' back behind the bar
  they said he had a wife, but she had left him in tears
  he hadn't been home in twenty-five years
  
  rack 'em up, rack 'em up,rack 'em up
  rack 'em up
  
  they came from all over thinkin' they were pretty hot
  put all their money in the table, wanna play the best we got
  nine in the corner, five in the side
  take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride
  i tell him listen son, there ain't no disaster
  there ain't no shame in being beaten by a master
  
  rack 'em up, rack 'em up, aaah, rack 'em up, rack 'em up
  till the day he was gone they said it all day long
  rack 'em up
