newsies original broadway cast - king of new york lyrics

[race]
ya don’t need money when you’re famous! they gives ya whatever you want, gratis!

[henry]
such as…?

[race]
a pair o’ new shoes with matchin’ laces

[romeo]
a permanent box at the sheepshead races

[henry]
pastrami on rye with a sour pickle

[finch]
my personal p-ss on a wooden nickel!

[race]
look at me, i’m the king of new york!
suddenly, i’m respectable
starin’ right at’cha
lousy with stature

[albert]
n0bbin’ with all the muckety-mucks
i’m blowin’ my dough, and goin’ deluxe

[race]
and there i be!
ain’t i pretty?

[race & henry]
it’s my city
i’m the king of new york!

[jojo]
a solid gold watch with a chain to twirl it

[les]
my very own bed and an indoor terlet

[mush]
a barbershop haircut that cost a quarter

[davey]
a regular beat for the star reporter!

[race]
am-scray, punk
she’s the king of new york!

[katherine]
whod’a thunk! i’m the king of new york!

[newsies]
we was sunk, pale and pitiful

[katherine]
bunch’a wet noodles

[katherine & newsies]
pulitzer’s poodles!

[les]
almost about to drown in the drink

[b-ttons]
when she fished us out

[race]
and drowned us in ink!

[katherine]
so let’s get drunk!

[newsies]
yeah!

[katherine]
not with liquor, fame works quicker
when you’re king of new york!

[newsies]
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!

[dance break]

[katherine & newsies]
look at me
i’m the king of new york!
wait and see!
this is gonna make both the delanceys
pee in their pants-sies!
flashpots are shootin’ bright as a sun
i’m one highfalutin’ son of a gun!
i guarantee
though i cr-pped out, i ain’t tapped out!
i’m the king of new-
friends may flee
let ’em ditch ya!
snap one pit’cha
you’re the king of new-
history!
front page story
guts and glory
i’m the king…
of new york!
