Jack:
2
Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothing!
3
Are we nothing?
4
Newsies:
5
No!
6
Jack:
7
Pulitzer and Hearst, they think they got us
8
Do they got us?
9
Newsies:
10
No!
11
Jack:
12
Even though we ain't got hats or badges
13
We're a union just by saying so
14
And the World will know!
15
What's it gonna take to stop the wagons?
16
Are we ready?
17
Newsies:
18
Yeah!
19
Jack:
20
What's it gonna take to stop the scabbers?
21
Can we do it?
22
Newsies:
23
Yeah!
24
Jack:
25
We'll do what we gotta do until we
26
Break the will of mighty Bill and Joe!
27
All:
28
And the World will know!
29
And the Journal too!
30
Mister Hearst and Pulitzer
31
Have we got news for you
32
Now the World will hear
33
What we got to say
34
We been hawking headlines
35
But we're making 'em today
36
And our ranks will grow
37
Crutchy:
38
And we'll kick their rear
39
All:
40
And the World will know
41
That we been here!
42
Jack:
43
When the circulation bell starts ringing,
44
Will we hear it?
45
Newsies:
46
No!
47
Jack:
48
What if the Delanceys come out swinging?
49
Will we hear it?
50
All:
51
No!
52
When you got a hundred voices singing
53
Who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
54
And the world will know
55
That this ain't no game
56
That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim
57
So they gave their word
58
But it ain't worth beans
59
Now they're gonna see what
60
"Stop the presses" really means
61
And the day has come
62
And the time is now
63
And the fear is gone
64
Boots:
65
And their name is mud!
66
Newsies:
67
And the strike is on
68
Boots:
69
And I can't stand blood!
70
Newsies:
71
And the world will--
72
Jack:
73
Pulitzer may own the World but he don't own us...
74
Newsies:
75
Pulitzer may own the World but he don't own--
76
Jack:
77
Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us!
78
Newsies:
79
Pulitzer may crack the whip
80
But he won't whip us!
81
And the world will know
82
And the world will learn
83
And the world will wonder how
84
We made the tables turn
85
And the world will see
86
That we had to choose
87
That the things we do today
88
Will be tomorrow's news
89
And the old will fall
90
And the young stand tall
91
And the time is now
92
And the winds will blow
93
And our ranks will grow
94
And grow, and grow
95
And so
96
The world will feel the fire
97
And finally know
A whole new world (English)
