Nathan, you must concentrate on the game. The town is up to here with high players. The Greek`s in
town. Freddie Bottle Bates, Scranton Slim.
Nathan: I know, I know, I could make a fortune, but to make a fortune, I need a fortune. A thousand
bucks, where do I get it?
The Biltmore Garage wants a grand, but we ain`t got a grand on hand.
And they now got a lock on the door to the gym at Public School 84.
There`s a stock room behind McKlosky`s Bar, but Mrs. McKlosky ain`t a good scout.
And things being 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 turn it to spot,
Even when the heat is on, it`s never too hot.
But for the good old reliable Nathan, oh it`s only just a short walk,
To the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New Yawk.
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, everywhere,
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere,
And awful lot of lettuce for the fella who can get us to play.
If we only had a lousy little crap, we could be a millionaire.
Oh the good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit,
If the size of your bundle you want to increase,
I`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 Yawk.
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.
