Newsies Lyrics

King of New York Mash-Up With Why Should I Worry (Oliver and Company)

Jacob:
One minute I'm in Central Park!
Then I'm down on Delancey Street!
From the Bow'ry to Saint Marks

Newsies Cast:
Do do do do do do do do do!

Jacob:
There's a syncopated beat!

Newsies cast:
Do do do do do do do do do!

All:
Ooooohhh

(Newsies cast continues in background)

Jacob:
I'm street smart! I got New York City heart! Why should I worry?! Why should I care? I may not have a dime! But I got street savoire faire!
Why should I worry?! Why should I care?! It's just the population! And I've got street savoire faire!

Zachary:
A solid gold watch with a chain to twirl it!

DeMarius:
My very own bed and an indoor terlet!

Michael:
A barber shop haircut that costs a quarter!

Jacob:
A regular beat for the star reporter!
I'm street smart! I've got New York City heart! Look at me! I'm the king of New York!

Newsies Cast:
Why should I worry?

Jacob:
Wait and see! This is gonna make both the Delancies's-

All: Pee in their pantysies!

Jacob:
Look at me! I'm the king of New York!

Newsies Cast:
Why should I worry?

Jacob:

Look at me. I'm the king of New York.

Rest of cast:
Oooohhhh

Jacob: I'm the king of New York

All:
