    These guys have done some really amazing work. What is most impressive to me is how different their shows are musically, and how well all the music in the shows fits together. And their shows are just interesting too! 🙂

    Seize the Day – Newsies


    PROLOGUE

    RACETRACK:

      In 1899, the streets of New York echoed with the voices of Newsies.
      Peddling the papers of Joseph Pulitizer,
      William Randolph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world.
      On every corner you heard them carrying the banner.
      Bringing you the news for a penny a pape.
      Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army, without a leader.
      Until one day, all that changed.

    SANTA FE

    JACK:

      So that’s what they call a family
      Mudder, fadder, daughter, son
      Guess everything you heard about is true.
      So you ain’t got any family
      Well, who said you needed one?
      Ain’tcha glad nobody’s waiting up for you?

      When I dream on my own
      I’m alone, but I ain’t lonely
      For a dreamer, night’s the only time of day
      When the city’s finally sleeping
      When my thoughts begin to stray
      And I’m on the train that bound for
      Santa Fe

      And I’m free
      Like the wind
      Like I’m gonna live forever.
      It’s a feeling time can never take away
      All I need’s a few more dollars
      And I’m outta here to stay
      Dreams come true
      Yes they do
      In Santa Fe

      Where does it say you’ve gotta live and die here?
      Where does it say a guy can’t catch a break?
      Why should you only take what you’re given?
      Why should you spend your whole life livin’
      Trapped where there ain’t no future
      Even at seventeen
      Breaking your back for someone else’s sake
      If the life don’t seem to suit ya
      How bout a change of scene?
      Far from the lousy headlines

      And the deadlines in between

      Santa Fe
      Are you there?
      Do you swear you won’t forget me?
      If I found you would you let me come and stay?
      I ain’t getting any younger
      And before my dying day
      I want space
      Not just air
      Let ’em laugh in my face, I don’t care
      Save a place
      I’ll be there

      So that’s what they call a family?
      Ain’tcha glad you ain’t that way?
      Ain’tcha glad you got a dream called
      Santa Fe?

      Are we nothin’?

    JACK:

      Pulitzer and Hearst

    NEWSIES:

      Are we ready?

    JACK:

      Will we hear it?

    NEWSIES:

      When you got a hundred voices singin’
      Who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
      And the world will know
      That this ain’t no game
      That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim
      So they gave their word
      But it ain’t worth beans
      Now they’re gonna see
      What “stop the presses” really means
      And the day has come
      And the time is now
      And the fear is gone

    BOOTS:

      And their name is mud

    NEWSIES:

      And the strike is on

    BOOTS:

      And I can’t stand blood

    NEWSIES:

      And the world will –

    JACK:

      Pulitzer may own the World but he don’t own us!

    NEWSIES:

      Pulitzer may own the World but he don’t own us!

    JACK:

      Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won’t whip us!

    NEWSIES:

      Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won’t whip us!
      And the world will know
      And the world will learn
      And the world will wonder how we made the tables turn
      And the world will see
      That we had to choose
      That the things we do today will be tomorrow’s news
      And the old will fall
      And the young stand tall
      And the time is now
      And the winds will blow
      And our ranks will grow and grow and grow and so
      The world will feel the fire
      And finally know!

      With no shoes on their feet everyday
      This is for guys sweatin’ blood in the shops
      While the bosses and cops look away
      This is to even the score
      This ain’t just Newsies no more
      This ain’t just kids for some pie in the sky
      This is do it or die
      This is WAR!

      Once and for all
      We’ll be there to defend one another
      Once and for all
      Every kid is our friend
      Every friend a brother

      Five thousand fists in the sky
      Five thousand reasons to try
      We’re goin’ over the wall
      Better to die then to crawl
      Either we stand or we fall
      For once
      Once and for all

    THE WORLD WILL KNOW (REPRISE)

    LES:

    Seize the Day – Newsies


    SANTA FE (PROLOGUE)

    JACK (spoken):

      Them streets down there, they sucked the life right outta my old man. Well they ain’t doin’ that to me.

    CRUTCHIE (spoken):

      But everyone wants to come to New York.

    JACK (spoken):

      You keep your small life in the big city. Give me a big life in a small town.
      (sung)
      They say folks is dyin’ to get here.
      Me, I’m dyin’ to get away,
      to a little town out west
      that’s spankin’ new.
      And while I ain’t never been there,
      I can see it clear as day.
      If you want, I bet’cha you could see it, too.

      Close your eyes…
      Come with me,
      Where it’s clean and green and pretty.
      And they went and made a city outta clay.
      Why, the minute that you get there,
      Folks’ll walk right up and say,
      “Welcome home, son, welcome home to Santa Fe!”

      Plantin’ crops,
      Splittin’ rails,
      Swappin’ tales around the fire,
      ‘cept for Sunday when you lie around all day.
      Soon your friends are more like family,
      and they’s beggin’ you to stay!
      Ain’t that neat?
      Livin’ sweet
      in Santa Fe.

      (spoken)
      Hey, no one worries about no gimp leg in Santa Fe. You just hop a Palomino, you’ll ride in style!

    CRUTCHIE (spoken):

      Picture me, ridin’ in style.

    JACK (spoken):

      Hey, I bet a few months of clean air, you could toss that crutch for good!

    JACK & CRUTCHIE:

      Santa Fe,
      you can bet.
      We won’t let them bastards beat us.
      We won’t beg no one to treat us fair and square.
      There’s a life that’s worth the livin’,
      and I’m gonna do my share.

    JACK:

      Work the land.
      Chase the sun.

    JACK & CRUTCHIE:

      Swim the whole Rio Grande just for fun!

    CRUTCHIE:

      Watch me stand!
      Watch me run…

    JACK (spoken):

      Hey, hey…
      (sung)
      Don’t you know that we’s a family?
      Would I let you down?
      No way.
      Just hold on, kid,
      till that train makes Santa Fe.

    CRUTCHIE:

    THE BOTTOM LINE

    PULITZER:

      Gentlemen, we need to sell more papers. There’s an answer right before your eyes, but you’re just not thinking this through.

      Nunzio knows when,
      He’s cutting my hair,
      Trim a bit here and then
      Trim a bit there.
      Just a modest adjustment
      Can fatten the bottom line.

    BUNSEN:

      What if we cut back personnel?

    SEITZ:

      How about a few salary trims?

    BUNSEN:

      We could lower the price of the paper.

    PULITZER:

      Bankrupting me even faster! Let me try again
      Shaving is tricky:
      The razor should float
      Shave me too close and you
      May slit my throat.
      It’s the simplest solutions
      That bolster the bottom line

    BUNSEN:

      I’ve got it! If we charge the Newsies sixty cents per hundred instead of fifty…

    SEITZ:

      …they’d have to sell ten more papers just to earn the same amount as always.

    PULITZER:

      My thought exactly. It’s genius.

    HANNAH:

      It’s gonna be awfully rough on those children.

    PULITZER:

      They’ll be learning a real life lesson in economics. I couldn’t offer them a better education if they were my own.

      Give me a week and
      I’ll train them to be
      Like an army that’s
      Marching to war.
      Proud of themselves and so
      Grateful to me,
      They’ll be begging to pay even more!

      When there’s dirt
      On our shoes, boys,
      For God’s sake, relax!
      Why throw them out?
      All we need is some wax
      Listen well to these barbershop lessons,
      For they’ll see you through.

    EMPLOYEES:

      When you’re stuck in the muck you’ll be fine.
      You’ll erase any trace of decline.

    SEITZ:

      With a trim

    HANNAH:

      And a snip

    BUNSEN:

      And a shine!

    PULITZER:

      And the pow’r of the press,
      Yes! Once again is mine!
      The price for the Newsies goes up in the morning!
      Just a few common cents,
      Gents, that’s the bottom line!

    EMPLOYEES:

      Every new outcome
      It’s income for you,
      Thanks to that bottom line!

    THAT’S RICH

    MEDDA:

      I’m doing alright for myself, folks:
      I’m healthy, I’m wealthy, I’m wise.
      My investments and such
      Have all gone up so much
      Seems whatever I touch
      Starts to rise.

      I’ve got men, I’ve got money
      And yet
      The thing I want most…
      I can’t get.
      I live in a mansion on
      Long Island sound.
      I pulled up a weed,
      They found oil in the ground.
      But you telling me you don’t
      Want me around-
      Now, honey, that’s rich.

      Some guys give me ermine
      chincilla and mink
      Some guys give me diamonds
      As big as a sink,
      But you wouldn’t give me so
      Much as a wink-
      Now, baby, that’s rich.

      I get brandy from Andy
      And candy from Scott.
      Oh, and Frank and Eduardo
      Chipped in for a yacht.
      I get stares from the fellas
      And prayers from the pope,
      But I ran out my luck
      Getting stuck on some dope!
      Hey baby, I was just talking about you.

      Now, listen, sport,
      This life’s too short
      To waste it on you.
      It may be rough,
      But soon enough
      I’ll learn to make do with
      The mansion, the oil well,
      The diamonds, the yacht,
      With Andy, Eduardo,
      The pontiff and Scott
      And Frank. Ooo!
      And my bank!

      So spill no tears for me,
      ‘Cause there’s one thing you ain’t,
      that I’ll always be,
      And honey,
      Yeah, that’s right,
      That’s rich! That’s rich!
      That’s rich! That’s rich!

    I NEVER PLANNED ON YOU / DON’T COME A-KNOCKING

    JACK:

      Well, hello again.

    KATHERINE:

      Please go away. I’m working.

    JACK:

      A smart girl, eh? Beautiful. Smart. Independent.

      I got no use for moonlight
      Or sappy poetry.
      Love at first sight’s
      For suckers,
      At least it used to be.
      Look, girls are nice,
      Once or twice,
      Till I find someone new
      But I never planned on
      Someone like you.


    JACK:

      I got no use
      for moonlight

      Or sappy

      poetry.

      Love at first sight’s
      for suckers,

      At least it used
      to be.


    BOWERY BEAUTIES:

      Don’t come a-knocking on my door.
      You aren’t welcome here no more.
      I should have known you
      Stunk like yesterday’s trash
      The night you stole my heart
      Plus forty dollars in cash

      Turns out my beau is
      Just some bum
      Turns out that love
      Ain’t blind, it’s dumb.
      You never told the truth or
      Worked a day in your life.
      In fact, you’re so revoltin’,
      I feel bad for your wife.

    KATHERINE:

      What are you doing?

    BOWERY BEAUTIES:

      I won’t be shaving your back
      Anymore, no señor.

    JACK:

      Quiet down. There’s a show going on.

    BOWERY BEAUTIES:

      Don’t come a-knocking
      On my door!

    KATHERINE:

      You are the most impossible boy ever.

    BOWERY BEAUTIES:

      Don’t come a-knocking
      On my door!

    JACK:

      Shh!
      No, I never planned on
      Someone like you.

    BOWERY BEAUTIES:

      Don’t come a-knocking
      On my door!

      will we hear it?

    NEWSIES:

      No!

    JACK:

      What if the Delancys come out swingin’,
      will we hear it?!

    NEWSIES:

      When you got a hundred voices singin’,
      who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
      And the world will know!
      That this ain’t no game.
      And we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim.
      So they gave their word?
      Well it ain’t worth beans!
      Now they gonna see what “Stop the presses” really means.
      And the old will weep,
      and go back to sleep.
      And we got no choice but to see it through

    RACE:

      And we found our voice.

    NEWSIE:

      And I lost my shoe!

    NEWSIES:

      Yeah!

      And the world will know
      We’ve been keepin’ score.
      Either they gives us our rights or we gives them a war.
      We’ve been down too long,
      and we paid our dues.

    CRUTCHIE:

      And the things we do today will be tomorrow’s news.

    NEWSIES:

      And the die is cast,
      and the torch is passed,
      and the roar will rise,
      from the streets below,
      and our ranks will grow and grow and grow and so
      the world will feel the fire and finally know!

    CRUTCHIE:

      Take away our vote?

    NEWSIES:

      Will we let ’em stuff this crock of garbage down our throat?
      No!
      Everyday we wait,
      is a day we lose,
      and this ain’t for fun,
      and it ain’t for show,
      and we’ll fight ’em toe to toe to toe and Joe
      your world will feel the fire and finally, finally know!

    WATCH WHAT HAPPENS

    KATHERINE:

      “Write what you know”
      so they say, all I know is I don’t know what to write
      or the right way to write it.
      This is big, lady, don’t screw it up,
      This is not some little vaudeville I’m reviewing.
      Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses
      Ha! It’s a cinch!
      It could practically write itself–
      And let’s pray it does, cause as I may have mentioned,
      I have no clue what I’m doing.

      Am I insane? This is what I’ve been waiting for.
      Well that, plus the screaming of ten angry editors.
      A girl? It’s a girl! How the hell? Is that even legal?
      Look, just go and get her!
      Not only that, there’s a story behind the story:
      Thousands of children, exploited, invisible.
      Speak up, take a stand, and there’s someone to write about it.
      That’s how things get better.

      Give life’s little guys some ink, and when it dries just watch what happens.
      Those kids will live and breathe right on the page
      and once they’re center stage, you watch what happens.
      And who’s there with her camera and her pen
      as boys turn into men
      they’ll storm the gates and then just watch what happens when they do.

      Picture a handsome, heroically charismatic
      plain spoken, know nothing, skirt-chasing, cocky little son of a…
      lie down with dogs and you wake up with a raise and a promotion.
      So, he’s a flirt,
      a complete ego maniac.
      The fact is he’s also the face of the strike–
      What a face–
      face the fact, that’s a face that could save us all from sinking in the ocean.

      Like someone said, “Power tends to corrupt”
      and absolute power wait, wait corrupts?
      Absolutely, that is genius!
      But give me some time, I’ll be twice as good as that six months from never.
      Just look around at the world we’re inheriting
      and think of the one we’ll create.
      Their mistake is they got old, that is not a mistake we’ll be making.
      No sir, we’ll stay young forever!
      Give those kids and me the brand new century and watch what happens.

      It’s David and Goliath do or die
      the fight is on and I can’t watch what happens.
      But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in.
      It can’t be any worse than how it’s been.
      And it just so happens that we just might win,
      so whatever happens, let’s begin!

    SEIZE THE DAY

    DAVEY:

      Now is the time to seize the day
      Stare down the odds and seize the day
      Minute by minute that’s how you win it
      We will find a way
      But let us seize the day

      Courage cannot erase our fear
      Courage is when we face our fear
      Tell those with power safe in their tower
      We will not obey!

    DAVEY & JACK:

      Behold the brave battalion that stands side by side
      Too few in number and too proud to hide
      Then say to the others who did not follow through
      You’re still our brothers, and we will fight for you

    DAVEY, JACK, and CRUTCHIE:

      Now is the time to seize the day
      Stare down the odds and seize the day

    NEWSIES:

      Once we’ve begun
      If we stand as one
      Someday becomes somehow
      And a prayer becomes a vow

    JACK:

      And this strike starts right damn now!

    DAVEY:

      Now is the time to seize the day

    NEWSIES:

      Now is the time to seize the day

    DAVEY:

      Answer the call and don’t delay

    NEWSIES:

      Answer the call and don’t delay

    DAVEY & NEWSIES:

      Wrongs will be righted
      If we’re united
      Let us seize the day

    JACK:

      Now let ’em hear it loud and clear

    NEWSIES:

      Now let ’em hear it loud and clear

    JACK:

      Like it or not we’re drawing near

    NEWSIES:

      Like it or not we’re drawing near

    JACK & NEWSIES:

      Proud and defiant
      We’ll slay the giant
      Judgement day is here
      Houston to Harlem, look what’s begun
      One for all and all for one!
      Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!

      Now is the time to seize the day
      They’re gonna see there’s hell to pay
      Nothing can break us
      No one can make us quit before we’re done
      One for all and all for
      One for all and all for
      One for all and all for one!

    SANTA FE

    JACK:

      Folks, we finally got our headline.
      “Newsies Crushed as Bulls Attack”
      Crutchie’s calling me,
      Dumb crip’s just too damn slow.
      Guys are fightin’, bleedin’, fallin’
      thanks to good ole’ Captain Jack.
      Captain Jack just wants to close his eyes and go

      Let me go
      Far away
      Somewhere they won’t ever find me, and tomorrow won’t remind me of today
      And the city’s finally sleepin’
      And the moon looks old and grey
      I get on a train that’s bound for Santa Fe

      And I’m gone
      And I’m done
      No more running, no more lying
      No more fat old man denying me my pay
      Just a moon so big and yellow, it turns night right into day
      Dreams come true. Yeah, they do in Santa Fe

      Where does it say you gotta live and die here?
      Where does it say a guy can’t catch a break?
      Why should you only take what you’re given?
      Why should you spend your whole life living trapped where there ain’t no future
      Even at 17. Breaking your back for someone else’s sake
      If the life don’t seem to suit you, how about a change of scene?
      Far from the lousy headlines and the deadlines in between

      Santa Fe: my old friend.
      I can’t spend my whole life dreaming
      Though I know that’s all I seem inclined to do
      I ain’t getting any younger
      And I wanna start brand new
      I need space ad fresh air
      Let them laugh in my face, I don’t care
      Save my place, I’ll be there

      Just be real is all I’m asking
      Not some painting in my head
      Cause I’m dead if I can’t count on you today
      I got nothing if I ain’t got Santa Fe

    WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (REPRISE)

    JACK:

      There’s no way I am putting them kids back in danger.

    DAVEY:

      Tell me how quitting does Crutchie any good.

    JACK:

      Doesn’t.

    DAVEY:

      Exactly
      So here’s how it goes once we win
      And we will be winning
      Make no mistake

    JACK:

      We’ll be what?

    DAVEY:

      We’re already winning

    JACK:

      Right

    DAVEY:

      And we’ll tell them straight out
      They let Crutchie go or they keep getting pounded

    JACK:

      Dave, what the hell?
      did they bust up your brains or somethin’?
      As I recall, Dave, we all got our asses kicked
      They won.

    DAVEY:

      Won the battle.

    JACK:

      Oh come on.

    DAVEY:

      Jack-y think about it, we got them surrounded.

    JACK:

      Here’s what I think: Joe’s a jerk
      He’s a rattle snake

    DAVEY:

      You’re right – and you know why a snake starts to rattle?

    JACK:

      No, why?

    DAVEY:

      ‘Cause he’s scared.

    JACK:

      Sure.

    DAVEY:

      Go and look it up.
      The poor guy’s head is spinning
      Why would he send for the goons, an entire army?
      Dozens of goons and the cops and…

    JACK:

      You know, you may be right.

    DAVEY:

      Thank you, God!

    JACK:

      If he wasn’t afraid –

    DAVEY:

      Exactly –

    JACK & DAVEY:

      He knows we’re winning

    JACK, DAVEY, KATHERINE & LES:

      Get those kids to see we’re circling victory
      And watch what happens.
      We’re doing something no one’s even tried
      And, yes, we’re terrified
      But watch what happens

    JACK:

      You can’t undo the past

    DAVEY:

      So just move on

    DAVEY & KATHERINE:

      and stay on track (stay on track)

    JACK, DAVEY, KATHERINE & LES:

      ‘Cause humpty dumpty is about to crack

    KATHERINE:

      We’ve got faith!

    DAVEY:

      We’ve got the plan!

    LES:

      And we’ve got Jack!

    JACK, DAVEY, KATHERINE & LES:

      So just watch what happens
      We’re back!

    LES:

      And I’ve gotta date!

    THE BOTTOM LINE (REPRISE)

    PULITZER:

      Time’s running out, kid
      So what do you say?
      Cowboy or convict
      I win either way
      Your abject surrender
      Was always the bottom line

      Gentlemen, escort our guest to the cellar so he might reflect in solitude.

      Too bad you’ve no job, Jack
      But you did resign
      Too bad you’ve no family
      But you can’t have mine
      Be glad you’re alive boy
      I’d say that’s the bottom line

    SEITZ:

      Like the Pier Piper you knew what to say

    PULITZER:

      Till those kids all believed you were right

    MAYOR:

      Lucky for them all but one got away

    PULITZER:

      They might not be so lucky tonight

    BROOKLYN’S HERE

    SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

    KATHERINE:

      Till the moment I found you
      I thought I knew what love was
      Now I’m learning what is true
      That love will do what it does

      The world finds ways to sting you
      And then one day decides to bring you
      Something to believe in
      For even a night
      One night may be forever
      But that’s all right
      That’s all right

      And if you’re gone tomorrow
      What was ours still will be
      I have something to believe in
      Now that I know you believed in me

    JACK:

      We was never meant to meet
      And then we meet
      Who knows why
      One more stranger on the street
      Just someone sweet passing by

      An angel come to save me
      Who didn’t even know she gave me

      Something to believe in
      For even a day
      One day may be forever
      But that’s okay
      That’s okay

      And if I’m gone tomorrow
      What was ours still will be
      I have something to believe in
      Now that I know you believed in me

    BOTH:

      Do you know what I believe in
      Look into my eyes and see

    JACK:

      If things were different

    KATHERINE:

      If you weren’t going to Santa Fe

    JACK:

      And if you weren’t an heiress
      And if your father wasn’t after my head

    KATHERINE:

      You’re not really scared of my father

    JACK:

      No, but I’m pretty scared of you

    KATHERINE:

      Don’t be

    JACK:

      And if I’m gone tomorrow

    KATHERINE:

      What was ours still will be

    BOTH:

      I have something to believe in
      now that I know you believed in me

    JACK:

      I have something to believe in

    BOTH:

      Now that I know you believed in me

    ONCE AND FOR ALL

    JACK:

      There’s change coming once and for all
      You makes the front page and man, you is major news

    JACK & DAVEY:

      Tomorrow they’ll see what we are

    JACK, DAVEY & KATHERINE:

      And sure as a star, we ain’t come this far to lose

    RACE:

      Here they come!!

    ENSEMBLE:

      This is the story we needed to write as we’re kept out of sight, but no more
      In a few hours by dawn’s early light we’ll be ready to fight us a war
      This time we’re in it to stay, talk about seizing the day

    JACK:

      Write it in ink or in blood, it’s the same either way.
      They’re gonna damn well pay!

    ENSEMBLE:

      See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed, he don’t care if we’re dead or alive
      Three satin pillows are under his head, while we’s begging for bread to survive
      Joe, you can stop counting sheep, we’re gonna sing ya to sleep
      You’ve got your thugs with their sticks and their slugs, Yeah!
      But we got a promise to keep!

    JACK:

      Once and for all if they don’t find their manners, we’ll bleed ’em! (Bleed ’em!)

    RACE:

      Once and for all we won’t carry no banners that don’t spell freedom!

    ENSEMBLE:

      Finally we’s raising the stakes
      This time whatever it takes!
      This time the union awakes, once and for all!

    JACK:

      Come on, boys!

    ENSEMBLE:

      Yeah!!
      This is for kids shining shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet everyday
      This is for guys sweating blood in the shops while their bosses and cops look away
      I’m seeing kids standing tall, glaring and raring to brawl
      Armies of guys who are sick of the lies getting ready to rise to the call!
      Once and for all there’ll be blood on the wall if they doubt us
      They think they’re running this town, but this town will shut down without us
      Ten thousand kids in the square (ten thousand kids in the square), ten thousand fists in the air! (ten thousand fists)
      Joe, you is gonna play fair, once and for all!

      Once and for all! (once and for all)
      Once and for all!! (once and for all)
      Once and for all!!! (once and for all)
      There’s change coming once and for all
      You’re getting too old, too weak to keep holding on
      A new world is gunning for you, and Joe, we is too!
      Til once and for all you’re gone!

    DAVEY:

      Once and for all!

    JACK:

      Once and for all!

    ENSEMBLE:

      Once and for all!

    JACK:

      Once and for all!

    FINALE

    JACK:

      With the strike settled, I should probably be hittin’ the road.

    DAVEY:

      I don’t get it. What’s Santa Fe got that New York ain’t?

    KATHERINE:

      Or better yet, what’s New York got that Santa Fe ain’t?

    CRUTCHIE:

      New York’s got us, and we’re family

    KATHERINE:

      And you’ve got one more ace up your sleeve

    JACK:

      What would that be?

    KATHERINE:

      Me. Wherever you go, I’m there right by your side.

    JACK:

      For sure?

    KATHERINE:

      For sure.

    JACK:

      Don’t take much to be a dreamer
      All you do is close your eyes
      But some made-up world is all you ever see
      Now my eyes is finally open
      And my dreams, they’s average-size
      But they don’t much matter if you ain’t with me

    NEWSIES:

      We’ll all be out there
      Carrying the banner man to man
      We’re always out there
      Soakin’ ev’ry sucker that we can
      Here’s the headline:
