02 Carrying The Banner
[00:00.19] Hey!
[00:01.52] That's my cigar!
[00:02.27] You'll steal another!
[00:03.86] Hey, look! It's bath time at the zoo
[00:06.78] I thought that I'd surprise my mother
[00:10.24] If you can find her
[00:11.57] WHO ASKED YOU?!
[00:19.01] From Bottle Alley to the Harbor
[00:21.66] There's easy pickings guaranteed
[00:24.85] Try any banker, bum, or barber
[00:28.30] They almost all knows how to read
[00:32.28] It's a crooked game we're playin'
[00:35.47] One we'll never lose
[00:38.92] Long as suckers don't mind payin'
[00:42.12] Just to get bad news
[00:46.36] Ain't it a fine life!
[00:48.49] Carrying the banner through it all
[00:52.47] A mighty fine life!
[00:55.13] Carrying the banner tough and tall
[00:59.64] When that bell rings
[01:01.52] We goes where we wishes
[01:03.12] We's as free as fishes
[01:04.70] Sure beats washing dishes
[01:06.03] What a fine life
[01:07.89] Carrying the banner home-free all!
[01:12.15] Hey, Crutchie, what's
[01:13.74] your leg say, gonna rain?
[01:14.81] Uhh, no rain...
[01:16.13] Ho-ho, partly cloudy clear by evenin'
[01:18.25] Ha! And the limp sells fifty
[01:21.71] papes a week, all by itself!
[01:22.77] I don't need the limp to sell papes
[01:23.03] I got personality
[01:25.69] It takes a smile that
[01:26.76] spreads like butter
[01:28.62] The kind that turns a lady's head
[01:32.06] It takes an orphan with a stutter
[01:35.25] Who's also blind-
[01:36.05] And mute-
[01:37.11] And dead!
[01:38.97] Summer stinks and winter's freezing
[01:42.16] When you works outdoors
[01:45.35] Start out sweatin
[01:46.67] End up sneezin'
[01:48.53] In between it pours!
[01:53.32] Still it's a fine life
[01:54.91] Carrying the banner with me chums
[01:56.24] (Still it's a fine life carrying
[01:57.30] the banner with me chums)
[01:59.69] A bunch of big shots
[02:01.55] Tossin' out a freebie to the bums
[02:03.15] (A bunch o' big shots
[02:03.68] tossin' out a freebie)
[02:06.06] Hey! What's the hold up?
[02:07.66] Waiting makes me antsy
[02:09.78] I likes livin' chancey
[02:11.12] Harlem to Delancey
[02:12.71] What a fine life!
[02:14.30] Carrying the banner through the-
[02:16.16] Blessed children
[02:22.81] Though you wander lost and depraved
[02:29.19] Jesus loves you
[02:35.83] You shall be saved
[02:42.49] Curdled
[02:43.80] Just give me half a cup
[02:45.40] Coffee
[02:46.99] Somethin' to wake me up

[03:00.80] Wish I could catch a breeze
[03:01.87] Just two
[03:03.19] Maybe it's worth a shot
[03:03.99] Years old
