Usnavi:
Ninety six thousand,

Sonny & Benny:
Damn,

Usnavi:
Ninety six thousand,

Sonny:
Dollars? Holler.

Usnavi:
Ninety six thousand,

Benny: [Spoken]
Yo, somebody won?

Usnavi:
Ninety six thousand,

Benny:
Yo, if I won the lotto tomorrow,
Well, I know, I wouldn't bother
Goin' on no spendin' spree—
I'd pick a business school,
And pay the entrance fee!
Then maybe if you're lucky
You'll stay friends with me!
I'd be a businessman,
Richer than Nina's daddy.
Donald Trump and I on the links,
And he's my caddy!
My money's makin' money,
I'm goin' from po'
To mo' dough!
Keep the bling,
I want the brass ring,
Like Frodo!

Usnavi:
Oh no, here goes
Mr. Braggadocio,
Next thing you know,
He's lying like Pinocchio—

Benny:
Well, if you're scared of the bull,
Stay out the rodeo!

Graffiti Pete:
Yo, I got more hoes than
A phonebook in Tokyo.

Usnavi:
Ooh, you better stop now,
You're not ready.
It's gonna get hot and heavy,
And you're already sweaty—

Graffiti Pete:
Y-y-yo-yo-

Usnavi:
Yo, I'm sorry,
Is that your answer?
Shut up, go home,
And pull ya damn pants up!
As for you,
Mr. Frodo of the shire—
96 g's ain't enough to retire.

Benny:
I'll have enough to knock
Your ass off its axis!

Usnavi:
You'll have a knapsack
Full of jack after taxes!

Sonny:
Ninety six thousand!

Abuela:
Ay, alabanza!

Sonny:
Ninety six thousand!

Daniela & Carla:
No me diga!

Sonny:
Ninety six thousand!

Vanessa: [Spoken]
I never win shit!

Sonny:
Ninety six thousand!

Benny:
For real, though,
Imagine how it would feel
Goin' real slow
Down the highway of life
With no regrets,
And no breakin' your neck
For respect or a paycheck.
For real, though,
I'll take a break from the wheel
And we'll throw the biggest
Block party, everybody here—
A weekend when we can breath,
Take it easy,

Neighbors:
Yo! Ma, it's me!
Check my tickets!

Carla:
One, two, three,
What would you do
With 96 g's?

Daniela:
Who me?

Carla:
I mean, it it's just
Between you and me,

Daniela:
Esa pregunta es tricky!

Carla:
I know.

Daniela:
With 96 g's,
I'd start my life with
A brand new lease.
Atlantic City with
A Malibu Breeze—

Carla:
And a brand new weave—

Daniela:
Or maybe just bleach.

Vanessa:
Y'all are freaks.

Usnavi:
Yo, I'm just sayin'
It's silly when we get
Into these crazy hypotheticals.
You really want some bread,
Then go ahead,
Create a set of goals,
And cross them off the list
As you pursue 'em,
And with those 96
I know precisely
What I'm doin'.

Vanessa:
What you doin'?

Usnavi:
What am I doin'?
What am I doin'?
It takes most of that cash
Just to save my ass
From financial ruin.
Sonny can keep
The coffee brewin',
And I'll spend a few on you
'Cuz the only room with a view's
A room with you in it.
And I could give Abuela Claudia
The rest of it—
Just fly me down to
Puerto Plata,
I'll make the best of it.
You really love this business?

Sonny:
No.

Usnavi:
Tough, Merry Christmas!
You're now the youngest
Tycoon in Washington Hiznits.

Sonny:
Yo, with 96,000
I'd finally fix housin',
Give the barrio computers,
And wireless web browsin'.
Your kids are livin' without
A good edumacation,
Change the station,
Teach 'em about
Gentrification. Graffit Pete:
The rent's escalatin', What?
The rich are penetratin', What?
We pay our corporations
When we should be
Demonstratin'. What?!
What about immigration? What?
Politicians be hatin'— What?
Racism in this nation's
Gone from latent Community:
To blatant! Oooooh!
I'll cash my ticket and picket,
Invest in protest,
Never lose my focus
Till the city takes notice.
And you know this man!
I'll never sleep
Because the ghetto has
A million promises
For me to keep!

Vanessa: [Spoken]
You are so cute!

Sonny: [Spoken]
I was just thinking off the top of my head.

Usnavi: [Spoken]
96k. Go.

Vanessa:
If I win the lottery,
You'll never see me again.

Usnavi:
Damn, we only jokin',
Stay broke then.

Vanessa:
I'll be downtown,
Get a nice studio,
I'll get out of the barrio. Benny:
If I win the lottery, For real, though, imagine how it would feel
You'll wonder where Goin' real slow down the highway of life with
I've been. No regrets, and no breakin' your neck
For respect or a paycheck.

[The numbered sections, 1-4, are sung simultaneously with
