The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York Songtext
von Frank Loesser

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, 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 awful lot of lettuce for the fella who can get us to play
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
