The World Will Know Lyrics Translations

[JACK KELLY]
Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothin'
Are we nothin'?

[NEWSIES]
No!

[JACK]
Pulitzer and Hearst, they think they got us
Do they got us?
:
FEATURED VIDEOS

[NEWSIES]
No!

[JACK]
Even though we ain't got hats or badges
We're a union just by sayin' so...
And the world will know!

What's it gonna take to stop the wagons?

Are we ready?

[NEWSIES]
Yeah!

[JACK]
What's it gonna take to stop the scabbers?
Can we do it?

[NEWSIES]
Yeah!

[JACK]
We'll do what we gotta do until we
Break the will of mighty Bill and Joe...
:
[NEWSIES]
And the World will know!
And the Journal too!

[JACK & DAVEY]

Mr. Hearst and Pulitzer, have we got news for you!

[NEWSIES]
See, the world don't know
But they're gonna pay

[JACK & DAVEY]

'Stead of hawkin' headlines we'll be makin' 'em today

[NEWSIES]
And our ranks will grow
:
And our ranks will grow

[CRUTCHIE]
And we'll kick their rear!

[NEWSIES]
And the world will know that we've been here!

[JACK]
When the circulation bell starts ringin'
Will we hear it?

[NEWSIES]
No!

[JACK]
What if the Delanceys come out swingin'
:
What if the Delanceys come out swingin'
Will we hear it?

[NEWSIES]
No!
When you got a hundred voices singin'
Who can hear a lousy whistle blow?

And the world will know!

That this ain't no game
That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim

So they gave their word?

Well it ain't worth beans!
Now they gonna see what
"Stop the presses" really means

And the old will weep

And go back to sleep
Now we got no choice but to see it through...

[RACE]
And we found our voice

[SPECS]
And I lost my shoe!

[NEWSIES]
And the world will—
Yeah!

[JACK]
Pulitizer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us

[NEWSIES]
Pulitizer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us!

And the world will know

We been keepin' score
Either they gives us our rights or we gives them a war

We've been down too long

And we paid our dues

[CRUTCHIE]
And the things we do today will be tomorrow's news

[NEWSIES]
And the die is cast
And the torch is passed
And the roar will rise
—From the streets below
—And our ranks will grow
—And grow
—And grow
And so the world will feel the fire and finally know!

Pulitzer may own the World, but he don't own us!

[JACK]
Pulitzer may own the World, but he don't own us!

Pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us!

[NEWSIES]
So the world says no?
Well the kids do too
Try to walk all over us
We'll stomp all over you

[CRUTCHIE]
Can they kick us out?
Take away our vote?

[NEWSIES]
Will we let them stuff this crock o' garbage
Down our throat? No!

Everyday we wait
Is a day we lose
And this ain't for fun
And it ain't for show
And we'll fight 'em toe to toe to toe and Joe
Your world will feel the fire and finally (finally) know!

This song is Jack’s rallying of the newsies following the discovery that the price of the
newspapers has risen, which, understandably, made the newsies very upset.

With strong vocals, a quick tempo, and simple emphasizing beats, the song is a powerful
call-and-response rally song, resembling the chants often found at protests. As the
newsies gain confidence and anger, the song’s pace and intensity increases.
