Bilingual
Nathan, concentrate on the crap game!
The town is up to here with high players!
The Greek's in town
Brandy Bottle Bates!
Scranton Slim!
I know! I could make a fortune!
But where can I have the game?
The Biltmore Garage wants a grand
But we ain't got a grand on hand
And they now got a lock on the door
Of the gym at PS 84
There's a stockroom behind McCluskey's bar
But Mrs. McCluskey ain't a good scout
And things bein' how they are
The back of the police station is out
So the Biltmore Garage is the spot
But the one thousand bucks we ain't got
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
(If we only had a lousy little grand
We could be a millionaire)
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 (shh!) crap game in New York
Where's the action?
Where's the game?
Gotta have the game or we'll die from shame
It's the oldest established
Permanent floating crap game in New York
