"He Shot Out the Lights" by A Victim (1963)
In the chancy realm of cue and ivory, / There reigns a king, rotund and lively, / His fame and frame spread far and wide, / For quick is his stick and fierce his pride, / He sets 'em up and he cracks 'em out, / And wins the cash in bout after bout.
Now New York Fats was his poolroom name, / 'Til Hollywood gave him lasting fame, / His stroke is feared both near and far / In Hong Kong, Rio and Zanzibar / And the warning's out in North Dakota, / Beware, beware of Old Minnesota.
The Flick was swell, a fabulous story, / Exposing Old Fats in all his glory, / The eighth great wonder he has been called, / When he's off on a run of nine jillion balls, / For on the table he has no peer, / He whacks 'em out and they run like deer.
Every last hustler he's seen come and go, / Vanquished by cue or braggadocio, / He beats 'em all like an old bass drum, / And always for cash, not ever for fun, / Immodest he is, shy he is not, / But there isn't a shot Fats hasn't shot.
In any session that you can name, / Fatty will boast he won every game, / Nine ball, black ball or pocket apiece, / Fats and the cash go east with the geese, / I've seen him play and this much I know, / There never was a shot that Fatty did blow.
When the game's over and Fatty's gone home, / To settle the tab at the golden throne, / Before he clears the gates of admission, / He'll pitch St. Pete a quick proposition, / Let's have no more jolts and let's have no fights, / Just write in your book -- Fats shot out the lights.
