歌词

[00:01.241] PULITZER: Gentlemen, we need to sell more papers.
[00:05.898] There's an answer right before your eyes, but you're just not thinking this through
[00:11.679] Nunzio knows,
[00:13.481] when he's cutting my hair
[00:15.300] Trim a bit here
[00:16.896] And then trim a bit there
[00:18.979] Just a modest adjustment
[00:20.558] Can fatten the bottom line
[00:23.956] BUNSEN: What if we cut back personnel?
[00:26.293] SEITZ: How about a few salary trims?
[00:28.398] BUNSEN: We could lower the price of the paper
[00:29.959] PULITZER: Bankrupting me even faster! Let me try again
[00:36.778] Shaving is tricky
[00:38.610] The razor should float
[00:40.434] Shave me too close
[00:41.992] And you may slit my throat
[00:44.083] Its the simplest solutions that bolster the bottom line
[00:49.070] BUNSEN: I've got it! If we charge the newsies sixty cents per hundred instead of fifty-
[00:54.036] SEITZ: They'd have to sell ten more papers just to earn the same amount as always
[00:57.180] PULITZER: My thought exactly. It's genius
[01:01.118] HANNAH: It's gonna be awfully rough on those children
[01:03.478] PULITZER: They'll be learning a real life lesson in economics.
[01:06.886] I couldn't offer them a better education if they were my own
[01:12.129] Give me a week and I'll train them to be
[01:15.571] Like an army that's marching to war
[01:19.224] Proud of themselves and so grateful to me
[01:22.874] They'll be begging to pay even more!
[01:25.993] When there's dirt on our shoes, boys
[01:28.050] For God's sake, relax!
[01:29.608] Why throw them out?
[01:31.158] All we need is some wax
[01:32.987] Listen well to these barbershop lessons
[01:35.860] For they'll see you through
[01:39.793] EMPLOYEES: When you're stuck in the muck you'll be fine
[01:43.356] You'll erase any trace of decline
[01:46.741] SEITZ: With a trim
[01:47.768] HANNAH: And a snip
[01:48.552] BUNSEN: And a shine!
[01:49.855] PULITZER: And the power of the press
[01:51.426] Yes! Once again is mine!
[01:57.478] The price for the newsies goes up in the morning!
[02:00.343] Just a few common cents
[02:02.179] Gents, that's the bottom line!
[02:05.316] EMPLOYEES: Every new outcome is income for you
[02:09.535] Thanks to that bottom line!
