Текст (слова) песни: Newsies - The King Of New York

 
A pair of new shoes with matchin` laces 
A permanent box at Sheepshead Races 
A porcelain tub with boilin` water 
A Saturday night with the Mayor`s daughter 
 
Look at me! 
I`m the King of New York! 
Suddenly, I`m respectable 
Starin` right atcha 
Lousy with stature 
Knobbin` with all the muckety-mucks 
Start blowin` my dough 
And goin` deluxe 
And there I be 
Ain`t I pretty? 
Its my city 
I`m the King of New York 
 
A courderoy suit with fitted knickers 
A mezanine seat to see the flickers 
Havana cigars that cost a quarter 
An editor`s desk for the star reporter! 
 
Tip your hat! 
He`s the King of New York! 
(How `bout that, I`m the King of New York) 
In no time flat 
He`ll be coverin` 
Brooklyn to Trenton 
Our man Denton 
Makin` a headline out of a hunch 
Protectin` the weak 
And payin` for lunch 
When I`m at bat 
Strong men tumble 
Proud men humble 
He`s (I`m) the King of New York 
 
Either we be dead or dreamin` 
Cuz look at that pape with my face beamin` 
Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it 
But I was a star for one whole minute! 
 
Starting now! 
I`m the King of New York 
(Ain`t ya heard?I`m the King of New York) 
Holy cow! 
Its a miracle 
Pullitzer`s cryin` 
Weasel, he`s dyin`! 
 
Like sparks, we`re shootin` bright as the sun! 
I`m one highfalutin` son of a gun! 
Don`t ask me how 
Fortune found me 
Fame just crowned me 
I`m the King of New York! 
 
Look and see! 
Once a piker 
Now a striker! 
I`m the King of New York! 
 
Victory 
Front page story 
Guts and glory 
I`m the King of New York!
