Carrying The Banner Lyrics - Newsies - Newsies-original Broadway Cast

Hey, that's my cigar 

You'll steal another 

Hey, look, it's bath time at the zoo 

I thought that I'd suprise my mother 

If you could find her 

Who asked you 

From Bottle Alley to the harbor 

There's easy pickings guaranteed 

Try any banker, bum, or barber... 

They almost all knows how to read! 

It's a crooked game we're playin' 

One we'll never lose

We've Got Handwritten Lyrics From Americana Sensations The Lone Bellow 

Long as suckers don't mind payin' 

Just to get bad news 

Ain't it a fine life 

Carryin' the banner through it all 

A mighty fine life 

Carryin' the banner tough and tall 

When the bell rings 

We goes where we wishes 

We's as free as fishes 

Sure beats washing dishes 

What a fine life 

Carryin' the banner home-free all! 

Hey Crutchie, what your leg say, gonna rain? 

No rain... Ha, partly cloudy clear by evenin'! 

And the limp sells 50 papes all by itself! 

I don't need a limp to sell papes. I've got personality. 

It takes a smile that spreads like butter

11 Delicious Misheard Lyrics About Food 

The kind that turns a lady's head 

It takes an orphan with a stutter 

Who's also blind 

And mute 

And dead! 

Summer stinks and winter's freezing 

When you works outdoors 

Start out sweating end up sneezing 

In between it pours! 

Still, it's a fine life 

Carryin' the banner with me chums 

A bunch of big shots 

Tossin' out a freebie to the bums 

Hey! What's the hold up 

Waitin' makes me antsy 

I likes living chancey 

Harlem to Delancey 

What a fine life 

Carryin' the banner through the 

Three Nuns: Blessed children 

Though you wander lost and depraved 

Jesus loves you 

You shall be saved! 

Curdled (just give me half a cup) coffee (something to wake me up) 

Concrete donuts (I gotta find an angle) sprinkled with mold (it's gettin' bad out here) 

Homemade (papers is all I got) biscuits (it's 88 degrees) (Jack says to change my spot) (wish I could catch a breeze) 

Just two (maybe it's worth a shot) years old (all I can catch is fleas) 

If I hate the headlines 

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 

Got a feelin' bout the headline 

(I do too! So it must be true) 

I smells me a headline 

Papes is gonna sell like we was givin' em' away 

(What a switch! Soon we'll all be rich) 

Betcha dinner it's a doozy 

'bout a pistol-packing floozey 

(Don't know a better way to make a newsie's day) 

Who knows how to make a newsie's day 

You wanna move the next edition 

Give us an earthquake or a war 

How 'bout a crooked politician 

Ya nitwit, that ain't news no more 

Uptown to Grand Central Station 

Down to City Hall 

We improves our circulation 

Walking till we fall 

But we'll be out there 

Carrying the banner man to man! 

We're always out there 

Soakin' every sucker that we can! 

See the headline: 

Newsies on a mission! 

Here's the headline 

Newsies on a mission 

Kill the competition 

Sell the next edition 

We'll be out there, carryin' the banner 

See us out there, carryin' the banner 

Always out there, carryin' the banner 

We'll all be out there, carryin' the banner man to man 

We're always out there, soakin' evey sucker that we can 

Here's the headline: 

Newsies on a mission 

Kill the competition

See us out there, carryin' the banner 

Always out there, carryin' the banner
