[BENNY, spoken] Hey, Nathan, concentrate on the game The town is up to there with high players Look, the Greek's in town! [NICELY, spoken] And Brandy Bottle Bates! [BENNY, spoken] Here comes Scranton Slim! [NATHAN, spoken] I know, I could make a fortune But where can I have the game? [NICELY] The Biltmore garage wants a grand [BENNY] But we ain't got a grand on hand [NATHAN] And they've now got a lock on the door Of the gym at P.S. 84 [NICELY] There's the stock room behind McCloskey's Bar [BENNY] But Mrs. McCloskey ain't a good scout [NATHAN] And things being how they are The back of the police station is out [NICELY & BENNY] So the Biltmore garage is the spot [NATHAN] But the one thousand bucks we ain't got [CRAP SHOOTERS] Why, it's good old reliable Nathan Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit! If you're looking for action, he'll furnish a spot Even when the heat is on, it's never too hot Not for good old reliable Nathan For it's always just a short walk To the oldest established permanent floating Crap game in New York There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, everywhere There are well-heeled shooters everywhere And an awful lot of lettuce For the fella who can get us there [NICELY, BENNY & NATHAN] If we only had a lousy little grand We could be a millionaire! [CRAP SHOOTERS] That's good old reliable Nathan! Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit! If the size of your bundle you want to increase He'll arrange that you go broke in quiet and peace In a hideout provided by Nathan Where there are no neighbors to squawk It's the oldest established permanent floating Crap game in New York Where's the action? Where's the game? [NICELY, BENNY & NATHAN] Gotta have the game Or we'll die from shame [CRAP SHOOTERS] It's the oldest established permanent floating Crap game in New York!
