Karaoké Watch What Happens Newsies (musical)

Write what you know so they say all

I know is I don't know

What to write or the right way to write it

This is big lady don't screw it up

This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing

Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses

Ha, it's a cinch it could practically write itself

And let's pray it does 'cos I may have mentioned

I have no clue what I'm doing

Am I insane this is what

I've been waiting for

Well that plus the screaming of ten angry editors

A girl it's a girl how the hell is that even legal look just go and get her

Not only that there's a story behind the story

Thousands of children exploited invisible

Speak up take a stand and there's someone

To write about it that's how things get better

Give life's little guys some ink and when it dries just watch what happens

Those kids will live and breathe right on the page

And once they're center stage you watch what happens

And who's there with her camera and her pen

As boys turn into men they'll storm the gates

And then just watch what happens when they do, ah

Picture a handsome heroically charismatic

Plain spoken know nothing skirt chasing cocky

Little son of a lie down with dogs and

You wake up with a raise and a promotion

So he's a flirt a complete ego maniac

The fact is he's also the face of the strike

What a face face the fact that's a face

That could save us all from sinking in the ocean

Like someone said power tends to corrupt

And absolute power wait wait corrupts absolutely

That is genius but give me some time

I'll be twice as good as that six months from never

Just look around at the world we're inheriting

And think of the one we'll create

Their mistake is they got old that is not

A mistake we'll be making no sir we'll stay young forever

Give those kids and me the brand new century and watch what happens

It's David and Goliath do or die the fight is on

And I can't watch what happens

But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in

It can't be any worse than how it's been

And it just so happens that we just might win

So whatever happens let's begin
