King of New York
Newsies-Original Broadway Cast

RACE

Ya dont need money when youre famous. They gives ya whatever ya want gratis!

HENRY

Such as...?

RACE

A pair of 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

Im 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 AND HENRY

Its 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, Shes the king of New York!

*('scram' in pig latin)

KATHERINE

Whod'a thunk! Im the king of New York!

NEWSIES

We was sunk, pale, and pitiful,

KATHERINE

Buncha wet noodles!

KATHERINE & NEWSIES

Pulitzers poodles.

LES

Almost about to drown in the drink,

BUTTONS

When she fished us out

RACE

And drowned us in ink!

KATHERINE

So lets 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*

NEWSIES & KATHERINE

Look at me:

Im the king of New York!

Wait and see:

This is gonna make both the Delanceys

Pee in their pant-sies.

Flashpots are shootin bright as a sun!

Im one highfallutin son of a gun!

I guarantee:

Though I crapped out, I ain't tapped out!

Im the king of New-

Friends may flee.

Let 'em ditch 'ya!

Snap one pit'cha

Youre the king of New-

History!

Front page story,

Guts and glory,

I'm the king of New York!
