Alan Menken - King of New York (Film Version) lyrics

[MUSH] A pair o' new shoes with matchin' laces [RACETRACK] A permanent box at Sheepshead Races [SPOT] 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 Staring 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 & 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 coverin' Brooklyn to Trenton Our man Denton [KID BLINK] Makin' a headline out of a hunch [DENTON] Protectin' the weak [RACETRACK] And payin' for lunch [DENTON] When I'm at bat Strong men crumble [RACETRACK] Proud yet humble [DENTON (RACETRACK)] I'm (he's) the King of New York [NEWSIES] 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! Starting now I'm the King of New York! [DENTON] Ain't you heard? I'm the King of New York! [NEWSIES] Holy cow! It's a miracle Pulitzer's cryin' Weasel? He's dying! Flashpots are shootin' bright as the sun I'm one highfalutin' sonuva 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!
