    Carrying The Banner

    That's my cigar - You'll steal anudder Got a feelin' 'bout the headline
    Hey, look, it's bath :me at the zoo I smells me a headline
    I thought that I'd surprise my mother Papes are gonna sell like we was givin’ ‘em away
    If you can find her - Who asked you? Betcha dinner it's a doozy
    'Bout a pistol-packin' floozy
    From Bo@le Alley to the Harbor Who knows how to make a Newsie's day
    There's easy pickings guaranteed
    Try any banker, bum, or barber You wanna move the next edi:on
    They almost all knows how to read Give us an earthquake or a war
    How 'bout a crooked poli:cian?
    It's a crooked game we're playin' Ya nitwit, that ain't news no more
    One we'll never lose Uptown to Grand Central Sta:on, down to City
    Long as suckers don't mind payin' Hall
    Just to get bad news We improves our circula:on, walking ':l we fall!
    But we'll be out there
    Ain't it a fine life Carrying the banner man to man
    Carrying the banner through it all! We're always out there
    A mighty fine life Soakin' every sucker that we can
    Carrying the banner tough and tall Here's the headline: Newsies on a mission!
    When that bell rings, we goes where we wishes Kill the compe::on!
    We's as free as fishes Sell the next edi:on!
    Sure beats washing dishes We'll be out there, carrying the banner!
    What a fine life, carrying the banner home-free all See us out there, carrying the banner!
    Always out there, carrying the banner!
    It takes a smile that spreads like bu@er Ah, ah, ah, go!
    The kind that turns a lady's head
    It takes an orphan with a stu@er
    Who's also blind… And mute… And dead!

    Summer s:nks and winters freezing


    When you works outdoors
    Start out swea:n' end up sneezin'
    In between, it pours!

    S:ll it's a fine life


    Carrying the banner with me chums (2x)
    A bunch o’ big shots tossin' out a freebie to the
    (2x)
    Hey! What's the hold up?
    Wai:ng makes me antsy
    I likes livin' chancey
    Harlem to Delancey
    What a fine life
    Carrying the banner through the…

    If I hate the headline


    I'll make up a headline
    And I'll say anything I have'ta
    'Cause at two for a penny, if I take too many
    Weasel just makes me eat 'em aVa'
