Newsies - King Of New York lyrics

MUSH A pair of new shoes with matching laces RACETRACK A permanent box at Sheepshead Races SPOT CONLON A porcelain tub with boiling water KID BLINK A Saturday night with the Mayor's daughter! RACETRACK Look at me I'm the King of New York! Suddenly I'm respectable Staring right atcha Lousy with stature JACK Nobbin' with all the muckety-mucks I'm blowing my dough and going deluxe RACETRACK And there I'll be! Ain't I pretty? RACETRACK & 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 our star reporter! NEWSIES Tip your hat! He's the King of New York DENTON How about that? I'm the King of New York NEWSIES In nothing flat He'll be covering Brooklyn to Trenton Our man Denton KID BLINK Making the headlines out of a hunch DENTON Protecting the weak RACETRACK And paying for lunch DENTON When I'm at bat Strong men crumble RACETRACK: Proud yet humble. RACETRACK & DENTON He's (I'm) the King of New York NEWSIES I gotta be either dead or dreaming 'Cuz look at that pape with my face beaming Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it But I was a star for one whole minute! Starting now I'm the King of New York! DENTON Ain't you heard? I'm the King of New York! NEWSIES Holy cow It's a miracle Pulitzer's crying Weasel? He's dying! Flashpots are shooting bright as the sun I'm one hifalutin' sonuva gun! Don't ask me how Fortune found me Fate just crowned me I'm the 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
