The Newsboy Of The Town - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE NEWSBOY OF THE TOWN. Copyright, 1895, by Stephen J. Mooney. Composed by Stephen J. Mooney. | 
The lad who sells our papers, oh, what a world is he; Up with the lark and hustling, his mind entirely free; He uses "pretty" language-he tries to down all care By calling out his "Extras." in the glorious open air. 
Chorus. Here, there, yes, everywhere, this newsboy may be found; On street cars, in theatres, and every place around; Be is a king among his class, but does not wear a crown. Be only sells our papers, this newsboy of the town. 
He's very quick in answer, he knows the latest slang; With flats he is a dandy, and "gets there" with a bang; It's "Now I'm off. "say, fellars, I've got his nobs right dar; Be runs to sell his papers on a passing down-town car.- Chorus. 
At home he is quite gentle, and is his mother's boy, Maybe her sole protector, her guardian and her joy; If he's bad luck, it's "kisses," but often there's a frown; He has no "cinch" by any means, this newsboy of the town.- Chorus.
