The Bottom Line Lyrics - Newsies - Newsies-original Broadway Cast

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 

(Spoken) Gentelmen, escort our guest to the cellar so that he might reflect in solitude. 

(Sung) 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 

Like the pied piper, you knew what to play 

'Till those kids all believed you were right 

Lucky for them, all but one got away 

They may not be so lucky tonight
