the bottom line (reprise)

newsies original broadway cast

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

like the pied piper you knew what to play

'till those kids all believed you were right

lucky for them all but one got away

they may not be so lucky tonight.
