Lyrics Watch What Happens (Reprise) - Newsies - Original Broadway Cast

There's no way I am putting them kids back in danger
Tell me how quitting does Crutchie any good
Exactly

So here's how it goes
Once we win, and we will be winning
Make no mistake
We'll be what?
We're already winning
Right!
And we'll tell 'em straight out
They let Crutchie go, or they keep getting pounded

Dave, what the hell?
Did they bust up your brains or something?
As I recall, Dave, we all got our asses kicked
They won!
Won the battle!
Oh, come on!
Jackie, think about it
We got them surrounded!

Here's what I think
Joe's a jerk, he's a rattlesnake
You're right!
And you know why a snake starts to rattle?
No, why?
'Cause he's scared
Sure
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-
You know you may be right
Thank you, God!
If he wasn't afraid
Exactly!
He knows we're winning!

Get those kids to see
We're circling victory
And watch what happens
We're doing something no one's even tried
And yes, we're terrified
But watch what happens

You can't undo the past
So just move on
And stay on track! (Stay on track!)
'Cause Humpty Dumpty is about to crack!
We've got faith
We've got the plan
And we've got Jack
So just watch what happens
We're back!
And I've got a date!
