Newsies-Original Broadway Cast - Letter From the Refuge lyrics

[CRUTCHIE] How are you? I'm okay Guess I wasn't much help yesterday Snyder soaked me real good with my crutch Oh yeah, Jack? This is Crutchie by the way These here guards, they is rude They say "jump boy, you jump or you're screwed!" But the food ain't so bad least so far, 'cause so far, they ain't brung us no food! (spoken) Ha, ha (sung) I miss the rooftop Sleeping right out in the open In your penthouse in the sky There's a cool breeze blowin' even in July Any way, so guess what! There's this secret escape plan I've got! Tie a sheet to bed, toss the end out the window Climb down and take off like a shot! Maybe though, not tonight I ain't slept yet, and my leg still ain't right! But hey, Pulitzer! He's goin' down! Then Jack, I was thinking we might just go, like you was sayin' Where it's clean and green and pretty With no buildings in your way And your riding Palominos, every day! (whispers) Damn this place (sung) I'll be fine. Good as new But there's one thing I need ya to do On the rooftop you told me a fam'ly looks out for each other So tell all the fellas from me, to protect one another! The end Your friend You best friend Your brother Crutchie
