Finale by The Rags: The Musical Original London Cast Recording Company Lyrics

[Rebecca, spoken]
It's going to be a tough go. A new shop, a new life. Can I tell you something, David? I think I'm a little bit afraid

[David, spoken]
I know. But listen! Mama, just listen!

[sung]
There's that music
Mama, remember that song?
Listen, Mama
We'll hear it our whole life long

[Rebecca]
Look, David
See it, David

Now it belongs to you

[David]
Now it belongs to me
[Both]
Now it belongs to...

[Businessmen]
Another load of greenhorns
Fresh off the boat
Another wave of refugees
To fill the mills and factories
A little grist
For the capital system

It's a bunch of greaseballs
Greasin' the wheels
A little oil for the machine
As long as greenhorns
Work the shops
Pick the drops
Push the mops
Eat the slops

[Ensemble, Businessmen]
Long live Columbus!
The flood of greenhorns
Long live Columbus!
Never stops
[All]
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops
Never stops

We are children of the wind
Blown across the earth
Half a world away
We have made our way

Great ships and iron trains
'Cross the seas and plains
Here, the seeds will grow
On this rocky shore
No more (no more)
The children of

The wind
