Carrying the Banner

That's my cigar

You'll steal another

Hey bummers we got work to do

Since when did you become me mother

Ah stop your bawling

Hey, who asked you?!Try Bottle Alley or the harbor

Try Central Park its guaranteed

Try any bank or bum or barber

They almost all knows how to read!I smell money

You smell foul

Met this girl last night

Move your elbow

Pass the towel

For a buck I mightAint it a fine life

Carrying the banner through it all

A mighty fine life, carrying the banner tough and tall

Every morning we goes where we wishes

Wes as free as fishes

Sure beats washing dishes

What a fine life, carrying the banner home-free allIt takes a smile as sweet as butter

The kind that ladys can't resist

It takes an orphan with a stutter

who aint afraid to use his FISTSummer stinks and winters waiting

Welcome to New York

Boy aint nature fascinating

When yous gotta walkSo its a fine life carrying the banner with me chums

Its a fine life carrying the banner with me chums

A mighty fine life, blowin' every nickel as it falls

A mighty fine life, blowin' every nickel as it fallsI'm no snoozer

Sitting makes me ancy

I likes livin' chancy

Harlen to Delancey

What a fine life

Carrying the banner through the slumsBlessed children

Though you wander lost and depraved

Jesus loves you, you shall be safe(The two next are sang together)Patrick?

Darling?

Since you left me I am undone

Mother loves you, god save my sonJust gimme half a cup

Something to wake me up

I gotta find an angle

I gotta sell more papes

Papers is all I got

Wish I could catch a breeze

Sure hope the headline's hot

All I can catch is fleas

God, help me if it's not

Somebody help me, pleaseIf I hate the headlines

I'll make up the headline

And I'll say anything I have to

'Cause at two for a penny

If I take too many

Weasel just makes me eat 'em afterLook! They're puttin' up the headline

What's it say

You call that a headline

That won't pay

I get better stories

From the copper on the beat

So where's your spot

I was gonna start at twenty

God, it's hot

Now a dozen'll be plenty

Will ya tell me

Tell me, how'm I gonna make ends meetWe need a good assassination

We need an earthquake or a war

How 'bout a crooked politician

Hey stupid that aint news no more

Uptown to Grand Central Station

Down to City Hall

We improves our circulation

Walking till we fall(The next two are sung together )Still we'll be out there

Carrying the banner man to man!

We'll be out there

Soakin' every sucker that we can!

See the headline:

Newsies on a mission!

Kill the competition

Sell the next edition

While we're out there

Carrying the banner is theLook, they're puttin' up the headline

They call that a headline?

The idiot who wrote it

Must be workin' for the Sun!

Did ya hear about the fire?(Next two sang together)It's a fine life

Carrying the banner through it all

A mighty fine life

Carrying the banner tough and tall

See the headline

Newsies on a mission

Kill the competition

Sell the next edition

What a fine life

Carrying the banner

It's a fine life

Carrying the banner

It's a fine life

Carrying the banner

It's a fine life

Carrying the banner

It's a fine life

Carrying the banner

It's a

Go!Would you look at that headline

You call that a headline

I get better stories

From the copper on the beat

I was gonna start with twenty

Now a dozen'll be plenty

Would you tell me how'm I ever

Gonna make ends meet

Hitched it on a trolley

Meetcha Forty-fourth and Second

Little Italy's a secret

Bleecker's further than I reckoned

By the courthouse

Near the stables

On the corner someone beckoned!

Go get 'em Cowboy

You got 'em now, boy

Go get 'em, Cowboy

You got 'em now, boy

Go!SARAH B
