Hollens, Peter - Newsies Medley Lyrics






[Carrying The Banner:]
Ain't it a fine life
Carrying the banner through it all?
A mighty fine life
Carrying the banner tough and tall
When that bell rings
We goes where we wishes
We's as free as fishes
Sure beats washing dishes
What a fine life
Carrying the banner home-free all

[The World Will Know:]
Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothing'
Are we nothin'? No!

When you got a hundred voices singing
Who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
And the world will know, that this ain't no game
That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim
So they gave their word, but it ain't worth beans
Now they're gonna see what stop the presses really means
And the day has come, and the time is now
And the fear is gone, and the strike is on
And the world will

Pulitzer may own the World, but he don't own us
(Pulitzer may own the World, but he don't own us)
Pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us
(Pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us)
And the world will know

[King Of New York:]
A pair o' new shoes with matchin' laces
A permanent box at the Sheepshead Races
A porcelain tub with boiling water
A Saturday night with the mayor's daughter

Look at me
I'm the King of New York!
Suddenly
I'm respectable
Staring right atcha
Lousy with stature

Flashpots are shootin' bright as the sun
I'm one highfallutin' son-of-a-gun

And there I be! Ain't I pretty?
It's my city, I'm the king of New York
Victory! Front page story
Guts and glory, I'm the king of New York

[Santa Fe:]
When I dream on my own
I'm alone, but I ain't lonely
For a dreamer, night's the only time of day
When the city's finally sleeping
When my thoughts begin to stray
And I'm on the train that bound for Santa Fe

And I'm free like the wind
Like Im gonna live forever
It's a feeling time can never take away
All I need's a few more dollars
And I'm outta here to stay
Dreams come true, yes they do in Santa Fe

[Seize The Day:]
Now is the time to seize the day
(Now is the time to seize the day)
Send out the call and join the fray
(Send out the call and join the fray)

Wrongs will be righted
If we're united
Let us seize the day

Friends of the friendless seize the day
(Friends of the friendless seize the day)
Raise up the torch and light the way
(Raise up the torch and light the way)

Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one

[Carrying The Banner:]
Uptown to Grand Central Station
Down to City Hall
We improves our circulation
Walking till we fall

But we'll be out there
Carrying the banner, man to man
Yeah we'll be out there
Soakin' every sucker that we can
See the headline:
"Newsies on a mission!"
Kill the competition
Sell the next edition
While we're out there
Carrying the banner

It's a fine life
Carrying the banner
It's a fine life
Carrying the banner
It's a fine life
Carrying the banner
It's a fine life
Carrying the banner
It's a- go!

    My school had a Newsies play(that I was in, I was Albert) and I think it's incredible to hear my favorite a capellaist sing a medley of it, it brought back memories of a truly fun and happy time in my sophomore year, thank you

  4. K.... H....

    I love this so much! You did amazing!! You picked such a fun movie to cover songs from! Btw, I just watched the movie 2 days ago for the 2nd time (1st in years) so I decided to finally watch this video.

    OML, when you did Santa Fe, I genuinely thought you sounded like Christian Bale

  8. N.... ....

    1:13 - I was distracted and thought he said 'And the BEER is gone!'

  9. B.... J....

  81. A.... B....

  82. T.... ....

    Could you possibly do a Jekyll & Hyde medley?

  83. S.... R....

    I would love to see him do a cover of “come what may” from moulin rouge with his wife. That would be so magical I think!

  84. L.... W....

    Saw The Newsies for the first time EVER this summer and I feel that you really captured the play in it's entire essence!! Fantastic as always. :D And don't worry about bumping the mic...it'll stand it. LOL!!

  85. N.... D....

    Petition to make Peter Hollens the next Jack Kelly.

  86. S.... P....

    Thank You ! This is once again an amazing piece of work! Great job

  87. C.... ....

    Everyone here is freaking out and I'm just comptemplating and wondering how much you would sound good singing only seize the day because that song is basically god

  88. A.... I....

    Anyone put the captions on...?..

  89. t.... a....

    IT IS A FINE LIFE CARRYING THE BANNER

  90. W.... M....

  92. s.... ....

    I fell in love with the Newsies movie, a long time ago, and it made me so happy that you used those lyrics.

  93. R.... M....

    *T A L E N T*

  94. H.... C....

    I LOVED THIS💖

  95. C.... '....

    I love this.

  96. J.... ....

    The 105 dislikes are Pulitzer and his gang

  97. R.... B....

    I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was watching this, holy crap.

  98. M.... S....

    I am upset that there is no " Once and For All", " Watch What Happens", " That's Rich", or " Bottom Line". Also he uses the lyrics from the 1992 movie , not the actual musical that was on Broadway. Maybe next you can do Chicago the Musical.

  99. N.... B....

    this would have been better with more people

  100. L.... ....

    I am a patron so we have been enjoying watching this over the last couple weeks, but I was no less excited when I saw you posted it!!! Me and my little sister love the Newsies!! Thanks for doing this!!

    L.... ....

    Thank you for being a Patron Lilly May!! That's why I want to make sure you get access to all my releases before everyone else. I'm happy to hear you are enjoying that perk. 😘

    L.... ....

    Fun fact: it's been 27 years since the original movie was released, and 7 years since Newsies on Broadway opened. Hopefully, in 20 years, I'll be able to show my future children true art!

    L.... ....

    @Peter HollensI was a patron but I wasn't receiving any messages about new videos for 2 months.......I was heartbroken....your voice is so amazing ...it's my very favorite and this video is so great!!
