[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!
