[Jack:]
Them streets down there, they sucked the life right outta my old man. Well they ain't doin' that to me
[Crutchie:]
But everyone wants to come to New York
[Jack:]
You keep your small life in the big city. Give me a big life in a small town
They say folks is dyin' to get here
Me, I'm dyin' to get away
To a little town out west
That's spankin' new
And while I ain't never been there
I can see it clear as day
If you want, I bet'cha you could see it, too
Close your eyes
Come with me
Where it's clean and green and pretty
And they went and made a city outta clay
Why, the minute that ya get there
Folks'll walk right up and say
"Welcome home, son
Welcome home to Santa Fe!"
Plantin' crops
Splittin' rails
Swappin' tales around the fire
'Cept for Sunday when you lie around all day
Soon your friends are more like family
And they's beggin' you to stay!
Ain't that neat? livin' sweet
In Santa Fe
Hey, no one worries about no gimp leg in Santa Fe. You just hop a palomino, you'll ride in style!
[Crutchie:]
Feature me, ridin' in style
[Jack:]
Hey, I bet a few months of clean air, you could toss that crutch for good!
[Jack & Crutchie:]
Santa Fe
You can bet
We won't let them bastards beat us
We won't beg no one to treat us fair and square
There's a life that's worth the livin'
And I'm gonna do my share
[Jack:]
Work the land, chase the sun
[Jack & Crutchie:]
Swim the whole Rio Grande just for fun!
[Crutchie:]
Watch me stand!
Watch me run...
[Jack:]
Hey, hey...
Don't you know that we's a family?
Would I let you down?
No way
Just hold on, kid
'Til that train makes Santa Fe
Race:]
Hey!
That's my cigar!
[Albert:]
You'll steal another!
[Specs:]
Hey, look! it's bath time at the zoo
[Henry:]
I thought that I'd surprise my mother
[Albert:]
If you can find her
[Newsies:]
Who asked you?!
[Race:]
From bottle alley to the harbor
There's easy pickings guaranteed
[Finch:]
Try any banker, bum, or barber
They almost all knows how to read
[Jack:]
It's a crooked game we're playin'
One we'll never lose
Long as suckers don't mind payin'
Just to get bad news
[Newsies:]
Ain't it a fine life!
Carrying the banner through it all
A mighty fine life!
Carrying 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
Carrying the banner home-free all!
[Finch:]
Hey, crutchie, what's your leg say, gonna rain?
[Crutchie:]
Uh, no rain...
Ho-ho, partly cloudy clear by evenin'
[Race:]
Ha! and the limp sells fifty papes a week, all by itself!
[Crutchie:]
I don't need the limp to sell papes
I got personality
It takes a smile that spreads like butter
The kind that turns a lady's head
[Race:]
It takes an orphan with a stutter
[Finch:]
Who's also blind
[Albert:]
And mute
[Elmer:]
And dead!
[Crutchie, Buttons, Jo-Jo:]
Summer stinks and winters freezing
When you works outdoors
[Jack, Tommy Boy, Crutchie, Buttons, Jo-Jo:]
Start out sweatin
End up sneezin'
In between it pours!
[Newsies:]
Still it's a fine life
Carrying the banner with me chums
A bunch of big shots
Tossin' out a freebie to the bums
[Finch:]
Hey! what's the hold up?
Waiting makes me antsy
I likes livin' chancey
[Newsies:]
Harlem to delancey
What a fine life!
Carrying the banner through the...

Jesus loves you
You shall be saved

[Jo-Jo:]
Jack says to change my spot
[Sniper:]
Wish I could catch a breeze
[Race:]

[Finch:]
Maybe it's worth a shot
[Buttons:]
All I can catch is fleas
[Race:]
Years old
[Jack:]
If I hate the headline
I'll make up a headline
[Jack and Crutchie:]
And I'll say anything I have'ta
[Jack, Crutchie, Race and Romeo:]
'Cause at two for a penny if I take too many
Weasel just makes me eat 'em afta'!
