"Welcome to New York" We all sing well, jumping on barrels and carts

"Boy, ain't nature fascinating. When youse gotta walk?" We all run the streets gathering around each other and dancing.

(All singing)

Still, it's a fine life. Carrying the banner with me, chums

(It's a fine life)

Carrying the banner with me, chums

(A mighty fine life)

Blowing every nickel as it comes 

(It's an exemplary life)

Blowing every nickel as it comes

"I'm no snoozer. Sitting makes me antsy I like living chancy." Crutchie dances while singing.

"Harlem to Delancey. What a fine life carrying the banner through the slums" we all sing together while the boys dance.

(Skipping the part after that bc I didn't know what was going on in that part)

We make our way into an ally, still singing.

"I'll make up the headline, and ill say anything I have to." We sing, making our way to get our papes while the boys jump off and dance.

(Singing part)

Cus it's 2 for a penny. If I take too many, Weasel just makes me eat them after.

Look, they're putting up a headline. 

(What's it say)

You call that a headline?

I get better stories from the copper on the beat.

(So were your spot)

We need an earthquake or a war.

"How about a crooked politician?" A young newsie asks.

"Hey, stupid, that ain't news no more!" We all yell and throw our hats at him.

Uptown to Grand Central Station.

Down to city hall.

We improves our circulation.

Walking till we fall.

So we'll be out there carrying the banner man to man.

The idiot who wrote it must be working for The Sun.

We'll be out there soaking every sucker that we can.

Heard the toll was even higher. Why do I miss all the fun?

See the headlines Newsies on a mission.

Kill the competition. 

Sell the next edition.

While we're out there carrying the banner is the--

(Singing stops)

We stop singing and dancing when we see the Delancey brothers.

"Dear me," racetrack starts to talk

"What is that unpleasant aroma?" He asks us

"I fear the sewer may have backed up during the night." he said while fanning himself with his hat.

We all laugh at that, knowing what he is talking about.

"Ah, too rotten to be the sewer." Boots started.
