Carrying The Banner (from Newsies) sing and play along

That's my cigar!

You'll steal anudder.

Hey, look, it's bath time at the zoo.

I thought that I'd surprise my mother.

If you can find her.

Who asked you?

From Bottle Alley to the harbor,

there's easy pickin's guaranteed.

Try any banker, bum, or barber.

They almost all knows how to read.

It's a crooked game we're playin',

one we'll never lose,

long as suckers don't mind payin' just to get bad news!

Ain't it a fine life,

carrying the banner through it all!

A mighty fine life,

carrying the banner tough and tall!

When the bell rings,

we go where we wishes.

We's as free as fishes.

Sure beats washing dishes.

What a fine life,

carrying the banner home for all!

It takes a smile that spreads like butter,

the kind that turns a lady's head.

It takes an orphan with a stutter.

Who's also blind...

And mute...

And dead!

Blessed

children,

though you wander lost and depraved,

Jesus

loves you.

You shall be saved.

Curdled coffee, concrete doughnuts sprinkled with mold,

homemade biscuits, just two

years If old.

hate the headline, I'll make up a headline and I'll say anything I have ta.

'Cause at two for a penny,

if I make too many, Wiesel just makes me eat 'em afta'.

Got a feeling 'bout a headline!

I smells me a headline!

Papes are gonna sell like we was givin' 'em away!

Betcha dinner it's a doozy 'bout a pistol packing floozy who knows how to make a newsie's day!

You wanna move the next edition?

Give us an earthquake or a war.

How 'bout a crooked politition?

Ya nitwit, that ain't news no more!

Uptown to Grand Central Station, down to City Hall.

We improves our circulation, walkin' till we fall!

But we'll be out there,

carrying the banner to the man.

We're always out there,

soakin' ev'ry sucker that we can.

Here's the headline:

Newsies on a mission!

Kill the competition!

Sell the next edition!

We'll be out there,

carrying the banner!

See us out there,

carrying the banner!

See us out there,

carrying the banner!

We'll all be out there,

carrying the banner to the man.

We're always out there,

soakin' ev'ry sucker that we can.

Here's the headline:

Newsies on a mission!

Kill the competition!

Sell the next edition!

We'll be out there,

carrying the banner!

See us out there,

carrying the banner!

See us out there,
