Newsies: Harlem to Delancey
What a fine life
Carrying the banner through the slums
Nuns:Blessed children
Though you wander lost and depraved
Jesus loves you
You shall be saved
Since you left me
I am undone
Mother loves you
God save my son!
Blink:Somethin' to wake me up
Mush:I gotta find an angle
Cruchy:I gotta sell more papes
Wish I could catch a breeze
Sure hope the headline's hot
All I can catch is fleas
God help me if it's not
Somebody help me please
If I hate the headline
I'll make up a headline
And I'll say anything I hafta
Cause at two for a penny
If I take too many
Weasel just makes me eat 'em afta
They call that a headline?
I get better stories from the copper on the beat
I was gunna start with twenty but a dozen'll be plenty
Tell me, how'm I gonna make ends meet? � � � �
That won't pay!
So where's your spot?
God, it's hot!
Will ya tell me how'm I gonna make ends meet?
We need an earthquake or a war!
How 'bout a crooked politician?
Hey, stupid, that ain't news no more!

Down to City Hall

Walkin' til we fall!
Carrying the banner man to man!
Yes, we'll be out there
Soaking every sucker that we can!
