Karaoké The World Will Know Newsies (musical)

Pulitzer and Hearst they think we're nothin'

Are we nothin'

Pulitzer and Hearst they think they got us

Do they got us

Even though we ain't got hats or badges we're a union just by sayin' so

And the world will know

What's it gonna take to stop the wagons

Are we ready

Yeah

What's it gonna take to stop the scabbers

Can we do it

We'll do what we gotta do until we break the will of mighty Bill and Joe

And the World will know and the Journal too

Mister Hearst and Pulitzer have we got news for you

See, the world don't know but they're gonna pay

'Stead of hawkin' headlines we'll be makin' 'em today

And our ranks will grow and we'll kick their rear

And the world will know that we've been here

When the circulation bell starts ringin'

Will we hear it

No

What if the Delanceys come out swingin'

Will we hear it

No

When you got a hundred voices singin'

Who can hear a lousy whistle blow

And the world will know that this ain't no game

That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim

So they gave their word

Well it ain't worth beans

Now they gonna see what stop the presses really means

And the old will weep and go back to sleep

Now we got no choice but to see it through

And we found our voice

And I lost my shoe

And the world will

Pulitzer may own the World but he don't own us

Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us

And the world will know we been keepin' score

Either they give us our rights or we give them a war

We've been down too long and we paid our dues

And the things we do today will be tomorrow's news

And the die is cast and the torch is passed

Pulitzer may own the World but he don't own us

Pulitzer may own the World but he don't own us

Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us

Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us

So the world says no well the kids do too

Try to walk all over us we'll stomp all over you

Can they kick us out

Take away our vote

Will we let them stuff this crock o' garbage down our throat

Everyday we wait is a day we lose

And this ain't for fun

And we'll fight 'em toe

And Joe your world will feel the fire and finally know
