letra de newsies medley - peter hollens

[carrying the banner:]
ain’t it a fine life
carrying the banner through it all?
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

[the world will know:]
pulitzer and hearst, they think we’re nothing’
are we nothin’? no!

when you got a hundred voices singing
who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
and the world will know, that this ain’t no game
that we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim
so they gave their word, but it ain’t worth beans
now they’re gonna see what stop the presses really means
and the day has come, and the time is now
and the fear is gone, and the strike is on
and the world will
pulitzer may own the world, but he don’t own us
(pulitzer may own the world, but he don’t own us)
pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won’t whip us
(pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won’t whip us)
and the world will know

[king of new york:]
a pair o’ new shoes with matchin’ laces
a permanent box at the sheepshead races
a porcelain tub with boiling water
a sat-rday night with the mayor’s daughter

look at me
i’m the king of new york!
suddenly
i’m respectable
staring right atcha
lousy with stature

flashpots are shootin’ bright as the sun
i’m one highfallutin’ son-of-a-gun

and there i be! ain’t i pretty?
it’s my city, i’m the king of new york
victory! front page story
guts and glory, i’m the king of new york
[santa fe:]
when i dream on my own
i’m alone, but i ain’t lonely
for a dreamer, night’s the only time of day
when the city’s finally sleeping
when my thoughts begin to stray
and i’m on the train that bound for santa fe

and i’m free like the wind
like im gonna live forever
it’s a feeling time can never take away
all i need’s a few more dollars
and i’m outta here to stay
dreams come true, yes they do in santa fe

[seize the day:]
now is the time to seize the day
(now is the time to seize the day)
send out the call and join the fray
(send out the call and join the fray)

wrongs will be righted
if we’re united
let us seize the day

friends of the friendless seize the day
(friends of the friendless seize the day)
raise up the torch and light the way
(raise up the torch and light the way)
proud and defiant
we’ll slay the giant
let us seize the day

neighbor to neighbor
father to son
one for all and all for one

[carrying the banner:]
uptown to grand central station
down to city hall
we improves our circulation
walking till we fall

but we’ll be out there
carrying the banner, man to man
yeah we’ll be out there
soakin’ every sucker that we can
see the headline:
“newsies on a mission!”
k!ll the competition
sell the next edition
while we’re out there
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!
