Queen of New York by King Kong the Musical Original Broadway Cast Lyrics
[ANN DARROW]
Another arrow shoots Ann Darrow through the chest
But every no only brings me closer to yes
New York dropped me with a body shot, but I’m not staying down
I’ll fight like hell, so ring that bell, look who’s comin’ out swingin’ in the open rounds
Fresh in the city living hand-to-mouth, it’s the marquis for me or a long way down
I’ve got me a new name, a new accent, a new backstory and a brand new walk
I’ve got the stock that’s not gonna drop, I’ll never give up ’til I am the Queen of New York
One dress, and yeah I guess I’m a mess, but I won’t rest til' I am the Queen of New York
So watch me as I go, cause no one even knows
Nobody knows
I’m gonna be the Queen of New York
There ain’t no queens on the midwest farm, just nameless faces on fella’s arms
The story ends when your some man’s wife
I don’t want to bend to fit some man’s life
I can’t give up til I’m up on stage
Cause nobody’s ever gonna put me back in that cage
So if poverty’s how it’s gotta be
At least I’m not some man’s property
No one answers for Ann but me
[COMPANY]
Nobody knows, she's the Queen, she's the Queen of New York, New York
[ANN DARROW]
I guess this city likes it's pretty Damsels in Distress, never gonna rest til I’m Queen of New York
So turn your heart to stone
I’m never going home
I’m taking my throne, I’m gonna be the Queen of New York
[ENSEMBLE & ANN DARROW]
Look at the city goin’ up, goin’ up
Never gonna stop, never gonna give up
Get what you want, what you want
Get on top
Queen of New York
Look at the city goin’ up, goin’ up
Never gonna stop, never gonna give up
Get what you want, what you want
Get on top.. get on top!
Queen of New York!
