As we started leaving the square one of the boys started singing.
From bottle alley to the harbor
There's easy pickings garaunteed
Try any banker bum or barber
They almost all knows how to read
Jack joined in adding
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
Soon all the boys joined in
Ain't it a fine life!
Carrying the banner through it all
A mighty fine life!
Carrying the banner tough and tall
I grinned slightly. I could tell I will like this new family, as long as they didn't know who I really am.
I followed jack through the streets until we reached a square full of people.
Jack showed me the ropes, shouting out obnoxious headlines that weren't completely true. Soon we both sold all of our papes.
It was only around two so I looked to jack to see wwhat we should do now.
"Well squeak, looks like we done he-ah." Jack said as he started walking away.
"Wait! Where yous goin?" I called and I ran a little to catch up.
"Is gon head to Brooklyn. Yous can come wit or head back wit da uda boys"
I followed after him "wat is there is Brooklyn?" I ask.
"Spot conlon. I gotta talk to im" he replied shortly.
"Then Is coming wit ya"
I've always wanted to go to brooklyn.
