[BENNY, spoken]
Nathan, concentrate on the crap game
The town is up to here with high players
The Greek's in town

[NICELY, spoken]
Brandy Bottle Bates!

[BENNY, spoken]
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]
So the Biltmore garage is the spot

[NICELY, BENNY & 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 the 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

[NATHAN, spoken]
Shh!

[CRAP SHOOTERS]
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
