newsies – king of new york lyrics

Loading...

mush:
a pair of new shoes with matchin’ laces!

racetrack:
a permanent box at sheepshead races!

spot conlon:
a porcelain tub with boilin’ water!

kid blink:
a sat-rday night with the mayor’s daughter!

racetrack:
look at me
i’m the king of new york
suddenly
i’m respectable
starin’ right at ‘cha
lousy with stature

jack:
n-bbin’ with all the muckety-mucks
i’m blowin’ my dough and goin’ deluxe

racetrack:
and there i be
ain’t i pretty?

racetrack and jack:
it’s my city
i’m the king of new york!

boots:
a corduroy suit with fitted knickers

les:
a mezzanine seat to see the flickers

snipeshooter:
havana cigars that cost a quarter

david:
an editor’s desk for the star reporter

newsies:
tip your hat
he’s the king of new york

denton:
how ’bout that!
i’m the king of new york

newsies:
in nothing flat
he’ll be covering
brooklyn to trenton
our man denton

kid blink:
makin’ a headline out of a hunch

denton:
protecting the weak

racetrack:
and payin’ for lunch

denton:
when i’m at bat
strong men crumble

racetrack:
proud yet humble

racetrack and denton:
i’m (he’s) the king of new york

all:
i gotta be either dead or dreamin’
’cause look at that pape with my face beamin’
tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it
but i was a star for one whole minute

startin’ now
i’m the king of new york

denton:
ain’t ya heard?
i’m the king of new york

all:
holy cow
it’s miracle
pulitzer’s cryin’
weasel, he’s dyin’
flashpots are shootin’ bright as the sun
i’m one highfalutin’ son-of-a-gun
don’t ask me how
fortune found me
fate just crowned me
now i’m king of new york
look and see
once a piker
now a striker
i’m the king of new york
victory!
front page story
guts and glory
i’m the king of new york!
