Newsies:

Ain't it a fine life

Carrying the banner through it all?

A mighty fine life

Carrying the banner tough and tall

We's as free as fishes

Sure beats washing dishes

What a fine life

Carrying the banner home-free all!

Carrying the banner with me chums!

A mighty fine life

Blowing every nickel as it comes

I'm no snoozer

Sitting makes me antsy

I likes living chancy

Harlem tah Delancey

What a fine life

Carrying the banner through the slums

Blessed children

Though you wander lost and depraved

Jesus loves you

You shall be saved!
