King Of Wolfmond Cay

Lyrics
Campbell: Ya don't need money when you're famous.

They give ya whatever ya want, gratis! Bodie: Such as...?

Cedar: 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!

Campbell: 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.

Campbell: 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!

[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!

Startin' now, I'm the king of New York!

[DENTON] Ain't ya heard? I'm the king of New York!

[NEWSIES] Holy cow! It's a 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!
