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.
