Текст песни The Bottom Line

PULITZER
Gentlemen, we need to sell more papers. There's an answer right before your eyes, but you're just not thinking this through.
Nuzio knows when,
He's cutting my hair,
Trip a bit here and then
Trim a bit there.
Just a modest adjustment
Can fatten the bottom line.
BUNSEN
What if we cut back personnel?
SEITZ
How about a few salary trims?
BUNSEN
We could lower the price of the paper.
PULITZER
Bankrupt8ing me even faster! Let me try again
Shaving is tricky: The razor
Should float
Shave me too close and you
May slit my throat.
It's the simplest solutions
That bolster the bottom line
BUNSEN
I've got it! If we charge the Newsies sixty cents per hundred instead of fifty…
SEITZ
… They'd have to sell ten more papers just to earn the same amount as always.
PULITZER
My thought exactly. It's genius.
HANNAH
It's gonna be awfully rough on those children.
PULITZER
They'll be learning a real life lesson in economics. I couldn't offer them a better education if they were my own.

I'll train them to be
Like an army that's
Marching to war.
Proud of themselves and so
Grateful to me,
They'll be begging to pay even more!
When there's dirt
On our shoes, boys,
For God's sake, relax!
Why throw them out?
All we need is some wax
Listen well to these barbershop lessons,
For they'll see you through.
EMPLOYEES
When you're stuck in the muck you'll be fine.
You'll erase any trace of decline.
SEITZ
With a trim
HANNAH
And a snip
BUNSEN
And a shine!
PULITZER
And the pow'r of the press,
Yes! Once again is mine!
The price for the Newsies goes up in the morning!
Just a few common cents,
Gents, that's the bottom line!
EMPLOYEES
Every new outcome
It's income for you,
Thanks to that bottom line!
