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?
(with 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
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.
(with 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!
