Original Broadway Cast - Watch What Happens

Write what you know
so they say all I know is I don't know what to write
or the right way to write it
This is big lady don't screw it up
This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing
Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses
Ha It's a cinch
It could practically write itself
And let's pray it does cause as I may have mentioned
I have no clue what I'm doing
Am I insane This is what I've been waiting for
Well that plus the screaming of ten angry editors
A girl It's a girl How the hell Is that even legal
Look just go and get her
Not only that there's a story behind the story
Thousands of children exploited invisible
Speak up take a stand
and there's someone to write about it
That's how things get better
Give life's little guys some ink
and when it dries just watch what happens
Those kids will live and breathe right on the page
and once they're center stage you watch what happens
And who's there with her camera and her pen
as boys turn into men
they'll storm the gates
and then just watch what happens when they do
Picture a handsome heroicly charismatic
plain spoken know nothing skirt chasing
cocky little son of a lie down with dogs
and you wake up with a raise and a promotion
So he's a flirta complete ego maniac
The fact is he's also the face of the strike
What a face
face the fact that's a face that
could save us all from sinking in the ocean
Like someone said Power tends to corrupt
and absolute power wait wait corrupts
Absolutely that is genius
But give me some time
I'll be twice as good as that six months from never
Just look around at the world we're inheriting
and think of the one we'll create
Their mistake is they got old
that is not a mistake we'll be making
No sir we'll stay young forever
Give those kids and me the brand new century
and watch what happens
It's David and Goliath do or die
the fight is on and I can't watch what happens
But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in
It can't be any worse than how it's been
And it just so happens that we just might win
so whatever happens Let's begin
