The Oldest Established

Lyrics

[BENNY, spoken] 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 now got a lock on the door Of the gym at Public School 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 [A CRAP SHOOTER] Why, it's good old reliable Nathan [CRAP SHOOTERS] Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit If you're looking for action, he'll furnish the spot Evеn when the heat is on, it's nеver 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
