What songs do you know of that mention pool?

"Kiss Me Deadly," by Generation X

"The Snooker Hall is empty
Cause they're all out playing pool
Hustling down the Fulham Road
Doing deals with Mr.Cool."

"Drowse," by Queen

"Half of the time
We'd broaden our minds
More in the pool hall than we did in the school hall."

"Maggie May," by Rod Stewart

"I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool."

"Lucky Day," by Tom Waits

"And old Johnny O'Toole
I'll still beat you at pool."

"Depot, Depot," by Tom Waits

"I'm on a roll just like a pool ball baby."

"Night Hawk Postcards (from Easy Street)," by Tom Waits

"Over at Chubb's Pool Hall and Snooker
it was a nickle after two."

"Putnam County," by Tom Waits

"I elbowed up at the counter with mixed feelings
over mixed drinks
and Bubba and the Roadmasters moaned in pool hall
concentration as they knit their brows to
cover the entire Hank Williams Song Book."

"I Wish I Was in New Orleans," by Tom Waits

"Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen
To that tenor saxophone calling me home."

In case you guys don't know Tom Waits, he sings about down and out people from seedy places. If he was a saint, he would be the patron saint of the Pool Hall.
