Guys and Dolls: First Complete Recording

[BENNY, spoken]
\nThe Greek's in town
\n
\n[NICELY, spoken]
\nBrandy Bottle Bates!
\n
\n[BENNY, spoken]
\nScranton Slim!
\n
\n[NATHAN, spoken]
\nI know, I could make a fortune
\nBut where can I have the game?
\n
\n[NICELY]
\nThe Biltmore garage wants a grand
\n
\n[BENNY]
\nBut we ain't got a grand on hand
\n
\n[NATHAN]
\nAnd they now got a lock on the door
\nOf the gym at Public School 84
\n
\n[NICELY]
\nThere's the stock room behind McCloskey's Bar
\n
\n[BENNY]
\nBut Mrs. McCloskey ain't a good scout
\n
\n[NATHAN]
\nAnd things being how they are
\nThe back of the police station is out
\n
\n[NICELY]
\nSo the Biltmore garage is the spot
\n
\n[NICELY, BENNY & NATHAN]
\nBut the one thousand bucks we ain't got
\n
\n[A CRAP SHOOTER]
\nWhy, it's good old reliable Nathan
\n
\n[CRAP SHOOTERS]
\nNathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit
\nIf you're looking for action, he'll furnish the spot
\nEvеn when the heat is on, it's nеver too hot
\nNot for good old reliable Nathan
\nFor it's always just a short walk
\nTo the oldest established permanent floating
\nCrap game in New York
\n
\nThere are well-heeled shooters everywhere, everywhere
\nThere are well-heeled shooters everywhere
\nAnd an awful lot of lettuce
\nFor the fella who can get us there
\n
\n[NICELY, BENNY & NATHAN]
\nIf we only had a lousy little grand
\nWe could be a millionaire
\n
\n[CRAP SHOOTERS]
\nThat's good old reliable Nathan
\nNathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit
\nIf the size of your bundle you want to increase
\nHe'll arrange that you go broke in quiet and peace
\nIn a hideout provided by Nathan
\nWhere there are no neighbors to squawk
\nIt's the oldest established permanent floating
\nCrap game in New York
\nWhere's the action? Where's the game?
\n
\n[NICELY, BENNY & NATHAN]
\nGotta have the game
\nOr we'll die from shame
\n
\n[CRAP SHOOTERS]
\nIt's the oldest established permanent floating
\nCrap game in New York\n\n
