Newsies Original Broadway Cast - The Bottom Line (Reprise) Lyrics






[Pulitzer:]
Time's running out, kid
So what do you say?
Cowboy or convict
I win either way
Your abject surrender
Was always the bottom line

Gentlemen, escort our guest to the cellar so he might reflect in solitude

Too bad you've no job, Jack
But you did resign
Too bad you've no family
But you can't have mine
Be glad you're alive, boy
I'd say that's the bottom line

[Seitz:]
Like the pied piper you knew what to play

[Pulitzer:]
'Till those kids all believed you were right

[Mayor:]
Lucky for them all but one got away

[Pulitzer:]
They may not be so lucky tonight....

    why does jack's voice change in this by a lot?

  3. O.... P....

    Me, playing Pulitzer in my schools performance of this, looking at the comment section on this video:... well shit

  4. R.... B....

    0:32 is what I say to antivax kids

  5. A.... H....

    Why does this sound like that song that Scar sings in The Lion King?

  6. H.... M....

    Anybody ever heard of Overshadowed Theatrical Productions? They did this this past summer, and IT. WAS. AMAZING! We went on a night when it was an understudy for Jack, and he was awesome! Ryan is an amazing actor, he does such a good job with the emotions. I was crying so much that night.

  7. G.... G....

    Who else wants to fight the world after Pulitzer's songs? Idk. I feel like I can fight anyone if Pulitzer comes in. My friends have seperate playlists eithout his songs for this reason.

  8. A.... ....

    I love how creepy this one is compared to first one 😂

  9. T.... ....

  10. C.... G....

    This is so ominous O.O

  11. E.... ....

    “All but one got away”

    They can’t mean, no,
    tHE FEELS

    E.... ....

    NOOOOOO!

    E.... ....

    nuuuuuuuuuuuuu

    E.... ....

    SM4SHLIFE well basically, it wasn’t bad enough to beat the poor cripple kid, no no no, they beat the poor cripple kid with his own crutch.

    E.... ....

    @Charlie Drawz who's the poor crippled kid

    E.... ....

    @The Implications Have you watched Newsises?

  12. k.... ....

    “Too bad you’ve no family, but you can’t have mine” Why does that like always hit me. Poor kid, no family and then gets bribed by a ‘Rich greedy sourpuss’.

  13. S.... T....

    lol same though XD

  14. P.... T....

    Steve Blanchard's voice reblog if you agree

  15. L.... L....

    Say no to this, appropriate version :')

  16. c.... ....

    I hate Pulitzer, but he has a lovely voice, and I can't help but enjoy a good, classy villain (and his songs).

    c.... ....

    Indeed. He's so silky-voiced and wicked. A perfect love-to-hate-able stage villain m

    c.... ....

    I hate how short his songs are. They're so good though

    c.... ....

    He reminds me of Shere Khan, voice wise XD

  17. J.... A....

    When Pulitzer sings this it really creeps me out

  18. S.... T....

    i love the way he sings the words "the bottom line" in this song SOO much

  19. S.... T....

    where is Watch What Happens on this playlist? the original one not the reprise...

  20. M.... O....

    Not that I saw the show or anything but it seems Pulitzer has won the first round!

    M.... O....

    NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU not true

    M.... O....

    He was losing ever since people heard what he was doing

  21. c.... ....

    The very beginning of this sounds like something from Les Mis tbh.

    c.... ....

    it always reminds me of the beginning of "so much better" from legally blonde

    c.... ....

    literally same exact thought. i was expecting javert

    c.... ....

    He sort of sounded like Javert

  22. H.... ....
