<br>
JACK:<br>
Pulitzer and Hearst<br>
They think we're nothin'<br>
Are we nothin'?<br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
No! <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
Pulitzer and Hearst<br>
They think they got us<br>
Do they got us? <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
No! <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
Even though we ain't got hats or badges<br>
We're a union just by saying so<br>
And the world will know! <br>
<br>
What's it gonna take to stop the wagons?<br>
Are we ready? <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
Yeah! <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
What's it gonna take to stop the scabbers?<br>
Can we do it? <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
Yeah! <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
We'll do what we gotta do<br>
Until we break the will of mighty Bill and Joe <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
And the World will know<br>
And the Journal too<br>
Mister Hearst and Pulitzer<br>
Have we got news for you<br>
Now the world will hear<br>
What we got to say<br>
We been hawkin' headlines<br>
But we're makin' 'em today<br>
And our ranks will grow <br>
<br>
CRUTCHY:<br>
And we'll kick their rear <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
And the world will know<br>
That we been here <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
When the circulation bell starts ringin'<br>
Will we hear it? <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
No! <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
What if the Delanceys come out swingin'<br>
Will we hear it? <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
No!<br>
When you got a hundred voices singin'<br>
Who can hear a lousy whistle blow?<br>
And the world will know<br>
That this ain't no game<br>
That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim<br>
So they gave their word<br>
But it ain't worth beans<br>
Now they're gonna see<br>
What "stop the presses" really means<br>
And the day has come<br>
And the time is now<br>
And the fear is gone <br>
<br>
BOOTS:<br>
And our name is mud <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
And the strike is on <br>
<br>
BOOTS:<br>
And I can't stand blood <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
And the world will – <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
Pulitzer may own the World but he don't own us! <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
Pulitzer may own the World but he don't own us! <br>
<br>
JACK:<br>
Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us! <br>
<br>
NEWSIES:<br>
Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us!<br>
And the world will know<br>
And the world will learn<br>
And the world will wonder how we made the tables turn<br>
And the world will see<br>
That we had to choose<br>
That the things we do today will be tomorrow's news<br>
And the old will fall<br>
And the young stand tall<br>
And the time is now<br>
And the winds will blow<br>
And our ranks will grow and grow and grow and so<br>
The world will feel the fire<br>
And finally know!<br>
<br>
