MUSH:

A pair of new shoes with matchin' laces!

RACETRACK:

A permanent box at Sheepshead races!

SPOT CONLON:

A porcelain tub with boilin' water!

KID BLINK:

A Saturday night with the mayor's daughter!

RACETRACK:

Look at me

I'm the king of New York

Suddenly

I'm respectable

Starin' right at 'cha

Lousy with stature

JACK:

Nobbin' with all the muckety-mucks

I'm blowin' my dough and goin' deluxe

RACETRACK:

And there I be

Ain't I pretty?

RACETRACK and JACK:

It's my city

I'm the king of New York!

BOOTS:

A corduroy suit with fitted knickers

LES:

A mezzanine seat to see the flickers

SNIPESHOOTER:

Havana cigars that cost a quarter

DAVID:

An editor's desk for the star reporter

NEWSIES:

Tip your hat

He's the king of New York

DENTON:

How 'bout that!

I'm the king of New York

NEWSIES:

In nothing flat

He'll be covering

Brooklyn to Trenton

Our man Denton

KID BLINK:

Makin' a headline out of a hunch

DENTON:

Protecting the weak

RACETRACK:

And payin' for lunch

DENTON:

When I'm at bat

Strong men crumble

RACETRACK:

Proud yet humble

RACETRACK and DENTON:

I'm (He's) the king of New York

ALL:

I gotta be either dead or dreamin'

'Cause look at that pape with my face beamin'

Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it

But I was a star for one whole minute

Startin' now

I'm the king of New York

DENTON:

Ain't ya heard?

I'm the king of New York

ALL:

Holy cow

It's miracle

Pulitzer's cryin'

Weasel, he's dyin'

Flashpots are shootin' bright as the sun

I'm one highfalutin' son-of-a-gun

Don't ask me how

Fortune found me

Fate just crowned me

Now I'm king of New York

Look and see

Once a piker

Now a striker

I'm the king of New York

Victory!

Front page story

Guts and glory

I'm the king of New York!
