Medda: High times, hard times, sometimes the living is sweet. And sometimes there's nothing to eat. But I always land on my feet. So when there's dry times, I wait for high times and then, I put on my best, and I stick out my chest, and I'm off to the races again! My good friend the mayor, he called me today. He said "Medda, the voters are turning away. Help me," he cried, "or they'll give me the axe!" I said, "Your honor, you've got to relax!" Ev'rybody! Newsies and Medda: High times, hard times, sometimes the living is sweet. And sometimes there's nothing to eat. But I always land on my feet. So when there's dry times, I wait for high times and then, I put on my best and I stick out my chest, and I'm off to the races again! Medda: So your old lady don't love you no more. So you're afraid there's a wolf at the door. So you've got street rats that scream in you ear. Newsies and Medda:You win some you lose some my dear! Oh, high times, hard times, sometimes the living is sweet, and sometimes there's nothing to eat. But I always land on my feet. So when there's dry times, I wait for high times and then, I put on my best and I stick out my chest and I'm off to the races again! Medda: I put on my best! Newsies: I put on my best! Medda: Ah yes and I stick out my chest! Newsies: And I sticks out my chest! Medda: And I'm off! Newsies: And I'm off! Medda: And I'm off! Newsies: And I'm off! Medda: And I'm off... Newsies and Medda: To the races again!

This song really depends if you have the movie, soundtrack or both. In the beginning part of this song on the soundtrack she sings by herself and she sings an extra part about the mayor. Then she says "Everybody!" and everything else is the same. But if you have the movie..what I said up there is the complete opposite. So I'm doing the sountrack verson. :)
