Karaoké Carrying the Banner Newsies (musical)

Hey that's my cigar

You'll steal another

Hey look

It's bath time at the zoo

I thought that I'd surprise my mother

If you can find her

Who asked you

From Bottle Alley to the Harbor there's easy pickings guaranteed

Try any banker, bum or barber

They almost all knows how to read

It's a crooked game we're playin'

One we'll never lose

Long as suckers don't mind payin' just to get bad news

Ain't it a fine life

Carrying the banner through it all

A mighty fine life

Carrying the banner tough and tall

When that bell rings we goes where we wishes

We's as free as fishes

Sure beats washing dishes

What a fine life

Carrying the banner homefree all

Hey Crutchie

What's your leg say

Gonna rain

Uh no rain

Ho ho partly cloudy

Clear by evenin'

Ha and the limp sells fifty papes a week all by itself

I don't need the limp to sell papes

I got personality

It takes a smile that spreads like butter

The kind that turns a lady's head

It takes an orphan with a stutter

Who's also blind and mute and dead

Summer stinks and winter's freezin'

Summer stinks and winter's freezin' when you works outdoors when you works outdoors

Start out sweatin'

End up sneezin'

Start out sweatin'

End up sneezin'

In between it pours

In between it pours

Still it's a fine life

Carrying the banner with me chums

A bunch of big shots

Tossin' out a freebie to the bums

Hey what's the hold up

Waitin' makes me antsy

I likes livin' chancey

Harlem to Delancey

What a fine life

Carrying the banner through the

Blessed children

Though you wander lost and depraved

Jesus loves you

You shall be saved

Curdled

Just give me half a cup

Blessed children

Coffee

Somethin' to wake me up

Concrete donuts

Oh oh oh oh oh

I gotta find an angle sprinkled with mold

It's gettin' bad out there

Homemade

Papers is all I got

Jesus loves you

It's eighty-eight degrees

Biscuits

Jack says to change my spot

Wish I could catch a breeze

Just two years old

Oh oh

Maybe it's worth a shot

All I can catch is fleas

If I hate the headline

I'll make up a headline and I'll say anything I have to

'Cos at two for a penny if I take too many

Weasel just makes me eat 'em after

Got a feelin' bout the headline

I smells me a headline

Papes are gonna sell like we was givin' them away

Betcha dinner it's a doozy

'Bout a pistol-packin' floozy who knows how to make a newsie's day

You wanna move the next edition

Give us an earthquake or a war

How 'bout a crooked politician

You nitwit that ain't news no more

Uptown to

Grand Central Station

Down to City Hall

We improves our circulation

Walkin' 'till we fall

But we'll be out there

Carrying the banner man to man

We're always out there

Soakin' every sucker that we can

See the headline

Newsies on a mission

Kill the competition

Sell the next edition

We'll be out there

Carrying the banner

See us out there

Carrying the banner

Always out there

Carrying the banner

We'll all be out there

Carrying the banner man to man

We're always out there

Soakin' every sucker that we can

Here's the headline

Newsies on a mission

Kill the competition

Sell the next edition

We'll be out there

Carrying the banner

See us out there

Carrying the banner

Always out there

Carrying the banner

Aah aah aah go
