Ryan Breslin - 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 puss 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 sta'cha [ALBERT] Nobbin' 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 [bu*tONS] 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 page 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 crapped 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!
