[Mush]
A pair of new shoes with matching laces
[Racetrack]
A permanent box at Sheepshed Races
[Spot]
A porcelain tub with boiling water
[Kid Blink]
A Saturday night with the mayor's daughter!
[Racetrack]
Look at me
I'm the King of New York!
Suddenly
I'm respectable
Staring right atcha
Lousy with stature
[Jack]
Nubbin' with all the muckety-mucks
I'm blowin' my dough and goin' deluxe!
[Raetrack]
And there I'll be
Ain't I pretty?
[Racetrack & Jack]
It's my city
I'm the king of New York!
[Boots]
A solid gold watch with a chain to twirl it
[Les]
My very own bed and an indoor terlet
[Snipshooter]
My barbershop haircut that cost a quarter
[David]
A regular beat for the star reporter!
[Newsies]
Tip your hat
He's the King of New York!
[Denton]
How 'bout that?
I'm the King of New York!
[Newsies]
Ain't nothing flat
He'll be covering
Brooklyn to Trenton
Our man Denton
[Kid Blink]
Making a headline out of a hunch
[Denton]
Protecting the weak
[Racetrack]
And paying for lunch
[Denton]
When I'm at bat
Strong men crumble
[Racetrack]
Proud yet humble
[Denton & Racetrack]
I'm, he's the King of New York
[Newsies]
I gotta be either dead or dreaming
'Cause look at that pape with my face beaming
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!
[Denton]
Ain't you heared?
I'm the King of New York!
[Newsies]
Holy cow!
It's a miracle
Pulitzer's crying
Weasel? He's dying!
Flashpots are shooting bright as the Sun
I'm one hifalutin' sonuva gun!
Don't ask me how
Fortune found me
Fate just crowned me
Now I'm King of New York!
Look and see
Once a piker
Now a striker
I'm the King of New York!
Victory!

Guts and glory
