The King Of New York — текст песни (Newsies)

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!
