Pulitzer and
Hearst, they think
we're nothing!
Are we nothing?
Newsies:
No!
Jack:
Pulitzer and
Hearst, they think
they got us
Do they got us?
Newsies:
No!
Jack:
Even though we ain't
got hats or badges
We're a union just
by saying so
And the World will know!
What's it gonna
take to stop the
wagons?
Are we ready?
Newsies:
Yeah!
Jack:
What's it gonna
take to stop the
scabbers?
Can we do it?
Newsies:
Yeah!
Jack:
We'll do what we
gotta do until we
Break the will of
mighty Bill and Joe!

And the World will know!
And the Journal too!
Mister Hearst and Pulitzer
Have we got news for you
Now the World will hear
What we got to say
We been hawking headlines
But we're making 'em today
And our ranks will grow

Will we hear it?
ALL:
No!
When you got a hundred
voices singing
Who can hear a lousy

That this ain't no game
That we got a ton
of rotten fruit and

So they gave their word
But it ain't worth beans
Now they're gonna see what
"Stop the presses"
really means

Jack:
Pulitzer may own
the World but he
don't own us ...
Newsies:
Pulitzer may own
the World but he
don't own--
Jack:
Pulitzer may crack
the whip but he
won't whip us!
Newsies:
Pulitzer may crack the whip
But he won't whip us!
And the world will know
And the world will learn
And the world will wonder how
We made the tables turn
And the world will see
That we had to choose
That the things we do today
Will be tomorrow's news
And the old will fall
And the young stand tall
And the time is now
And the winds will blow
And our ranks will grow
And grow, and grow
And so
The world will feel the fire
And finally know!
