"Hey Liam, Noah, will you heard Jessie get a move on"


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?!

"I think I need a new selling spot, got any ideas?" Albert sighed

from bottle alley to da harbour There's easy pickings guaranteed



Try any banker, bum, or barber

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!

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 home-free all!

hey, crutchie whats ya leg say? gonna rain?



Uhh, 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




Summer stinks and winter's freezing
When you works outdoors


Start out sweatin
End up sneezin'
In between it pours!


Still, it's a fine life
Carrying the banner with me chums
(Still, it's a fine life carrying the banner with me chums)
A bunch of big shots
Tossin' out a freebie to the bums
(A bunch o' big shots tossin' out a freebie)


Hey! What's the hold up?
Waiting 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


Blessed children


Coffee
Somethin' to wake me up


Concrete donuts
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 88 degrees


Biscuits



Wish I could catch a breeze

just two
Maybe it's worth a shot


Years old


if i hate the headline ill make up a headline and ill say anything I have ta 
cause two for a penny if i take to many Weisel just makes me eat em after 



Got a feelin' bout the headline!
I do too, so it must be true
I smells me a headline!
Papes are gonna sell like we was givin' them away!
What a switch! Soon we'll all be rich
Betcha dinner it's a doozy
'Bout a pistol-packin' floozy
Don't know any better way to make a newsie's day
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?

yeah but that ain't newsie 

Uptown to Grand Central Station
Down to City Hall
We improves our circulation
Walking 'til we fall

But we'll be out there
Got a feelin' 'bout the headline, I smells me a headline
Carrying the banner man to man!
Papes are gonna sell like we was givin' them away
Betcha dinner it's a doozy
We're always out there
'Bout a pistol-packin' floozy
Soakin' every sucker that we can
Don't know any better way to make a Newsie's day!
See the headline:
I was stakin' out the circus
Newsies on a mission!
And then someone said that Coney's really hot
Kill the competition
But when I got there
Sell the next edition
There was Spot with all his cronies
We'll be out there
Heck, I'm gonna take what little dough I got and play the ponies
Carrying the banner!
See us out there, carrying the banner!
We at least deserves a headline for the hours that they work us
Always out there, carrying the banner!
Jeez, I bet if I just stayed a little longer at the circus


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!

Ahh, ahh, ahh, go!
