Newsies the Musical - Watch What Happens Reprise Lyrics
JACK (spoken):
There's no way I am puttin' them kids back in danger.
DAVEY (spoken):
Tell me how quitting does Crutchie any good? Exactly. So...
(sung) Here's how it goes:
Once we win, and we will be winning, make no mistake-
JACK:
We'll be what?
DAVEY:
We're already winning.
JACK:
Right!
DAVEY:
And we'll tell 'em straight out they let Crutchie go
Or they keep getting pounded.
JACK:
Dave, what the hell- did they bust up your brains or somethin'?
As I recall, Dave, we all got our asses kicked. They won!
DAVEY:
Won the battle.
JACK:
Come on!
DAVEY:
Jackie, think about it: we got them surrounded!
JACK:
Here's what I think: Joe's a jerk, he's a rattlesnake!
DAVEY:
You're right. And you know why a snake starts to rattle?
JACK:
No, why?
DAVEY:
'Cause he's scared.
JACK:
Sure.
DAVEY:
Go and look it up- the poor guy's head is spinning.
Why would he send for the goons- An entire army?
Dozens of goons and the cops and-
JACK:
You know you may be right...
DAVEY:
Thank you, god!
JACK:
If he wasn't afraid-
DAVEY:
Exactly.
JACK:
Huh.
DAVEY & JACK:
He knows we're winning!
DAVEY, KATHERINE & LES:
Get those kids to see we're circling victory
and watch what happens!
DAVEY, JACK, KATHERINE & LES:
We're doing somethingno one's even tried,
And yes, we're terrified, but watch what happens!
JACK:
You can't undo the past,
DAVEY:
So just move on
DAVEY & KATHERINE:
And stay on track
LES:
Stay on track.
DAVEY, JACK, KATHERiNE & LES:
'Cause Humpty Dumpty is about to crack!
KATHERINE:
We've got faith,
DAVEY:
We've got the plan,
LES:
And we've got Jack!
JACK, DAVEY, KATHERINE & LES:
So just watch what happens: we're back!
LES:
And I've got a date!
