[00:00.14] Hey!
[00:01.01] That's my cigar!
[00:02.17] You'll steal another!
[00:04.12] Hey, look! It's bath time at the zoo
[00:07.18] I thought that I'd surprise my mother
[00:10.40] If you can find her
[00:12.17] WHO ASKED YOU?!
[00:19.23] From Bottle Alley to the Harbor
[00:22.31] There's easy pickings guaranteed
[00:25.66] Try any banker, bum, or barber
[00:28.89] They almost all knows how to read
[00:32.65] It's a crooked game we're playin'
[00:35.81] One we'll never lose
[00:39.07] Long as suckers don't mind payin'
[00:42.34] Just to get bad news
[00:46.67] Ain't it a fine life!
[00:48.63] Carrying the banner through it all
[00:53.06] A mighty fine life!
[00:55.03] Carrying the banner tough and tall
[00:59.55] When the bell rings
[01:01.55] We goes where we wishes
[01:03.22] We's as free as fishes
[01:04.70] Sure beats washing dishes
[01:06.16] What a fine life
[01:08.00] Carrying the banner home-free all!
[01:12.00] Hey, Crutchie, what's your leg say, gonna rain?
[01:14.09] Uhh, no rain...
[01:16.00] Ho-ho, partly cloudy, clear by evenin'
[01:18.31] Ha! And the limp sells fifty papes a week, all by itself!
[01:21.40] I don't need the limp to sell papes
[01:23.50] I got personality
[01:25.50] It takes a smile that spreads like butter
[01:28.60] The kind that turns a lady's head
[01:32.29] It takes an orphan with a stutter
[01:35.48] Who's also blind-
[01:36.62] And mute-
[01:37.40] And dead!
[01:39.30] Summer stinks and winters freezing
[01:42.51] When you works outdoors
[01:45.57] Start out sweatin
[01:47.10] End up sneezin'
[01:48.93] In between it pours!
[01:53.26] Still it's a fine life
[01:55.27] Carrying the banner with me chums
[01:56.79] Still it's a fine life
[01:58.53] Carrying the banner with me chums
[01:59.77] A bunch of big shots
[02:01.80] Tossin' out a freebie to the bums
[02:03.10] A bunch of big shots
[02:05.00] Tossin' out a freebie
[02:06.31] Hey! What's the hold up?
[02:08.15] Waiting makes me antsy
[02:09.74] I likes livin' chancey
[02:11.27] Harlem to Delancey
[02:12.77] What a fine life!
[02:14.61] Carrying the banner through the-
[02:16.48] Blessed children
[02:22.86] Though you wander lost and depraved
[02:29.39] Jesus loves you
[02:35.68] You shall be saved
[02:42.21] Curdled
[02:43.73] ( Just give me half a cup)
[02:45.53] coffee
[02:47.49] ( Somethin' to wake me up)

[02:50.98] ( I gotta find an angle)
[02:52.29] Sprinkled with mold
[02:54.17] ( It's gettin bad out there)
[02:55.55] Homemade ( Papers is all I got)
[02:57.76] ( It's 88 degrees)

[03:00.53] ( Wish I could catch a breeze)
[03:01.95] Just two ( Maybe it's worth a shot)
[03:03.51] ( All I can catch is fleas)
[03:04.47] years old

[03:06.64] I'll make up a headline
[03:08.02] And I'll say anything I have'ta

[03:24.11] Betcha dinner it's a doozy ( What a switch! Soon we'll all be rich)
[03:25.92] 'Bout a pistol-packin' floozy
[03:27.38] Who knows how to make a Newsie's day! ( Don't know any better way to make a newsie's day)
[03:30.49] You wanna move the next edition
[03:33.74] Give us an earthquake or a war!
[03:36.86] How 'bout a crooked politician?
[03:40.00] Yeah, nitwit, that ain't news no more!
[03:43.53] Uptown to Grand Central Station
