Newsies movie - King of New York lyrics
rate me<br>
Music by Alan Menken.<br>
Lyrics by Jack Feldman.<br>
<br>
MUSH:<br>
A pair of new shoes with matchin' laces! <br>
<br>
RACETRACK:<br>
A permanent box at Sheepshead races! <br>
<br>
SPOT CONLON:<br>
A porcelain tub with boilin' water! <br>
<br>
KID BLINK:<br>
A Saturday night with the mayor's daughter! <br>
<br>
RACETRACK:<br>
Look at me<br>
I'm the king of New York<br>
Suddenly<br>
I'm respectable<br>
Starin' right at 'cha<br>
Lousy with stature <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
Nobbin' with all the muckety-mucks<br>
I'm blowin' my dough and goin' deluxe <br>
<br>
RACETRACK:<br>
And there I be<br>
Ain't I pretty? <br>
<br>
RACETRACK and JACK:<br>
It's my city<br>
I'm the king of New York! <br>
<br>
BOOTS:<br>
A corduroy suit with fitted knickers <br>
<br>
LES:<br>
A mezzanine seat to see the flickers <br>
<br>
SNIPESHOOTER:<br>
Havana cigars that cost a quarter <br>
<br>
DAVID:<br>
An editor's desk for the star reporter <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
Tip your hat<br>
He's the king of New York <br>
<br>
DENTON:<br>
How 'bout that!<br>
I'm the king of New York <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
In nothing flat<br>
He'll be covering<br>
Brooklyn to Trenton<br>
Our man Denton <br>
<br>
KID BLINK:<br>
Makin' a headline out of a hunch <br>
<br>
DENTON:<br>
Protecting the weak <br>
<br>
RACETRACK:<br>
And payin' for lunch <br>
<br>
DENTON:<br>
When I'm at bat<br>
Strong men crumble <br>
<br>
RACETRACK:<br>
Proud yet humble <br>
<br>
RACETRACK and DENTON:<br>
I'm (He's) the king of New York <br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
I gotta be either dead or dreamin'<br>
'Cause look at that pape with my face beamin'<br>
Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it<br>
But I was a star for one whole minute <br>
<br>
Startin' now<br>
I'm the king of New York <br>
<br>
DENTON:<br>
Ain't ya heard?<br>
I'm the king of New York <br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
Holy cow<br>
It's miracle<br>
Pulitzer's cryin'<br>
Weasel, he's dyin'<br>
Flashpots are shootin' bright as the sun<br>
I'm one highfalutin' son-of-a-gun<br>
Don't ask me how<br>
Fortune found me<br>
Fate just crowned me<br>
Now I'm king of New York<br>
Look and see<br>
Once a piker<br>
Now a striker<br>
I'm the king of New York<br>
Victory!<br>
Front page story<br>
Guts and glory<br>
I'm the king of New York!<br>
<br>
