Orphan Town Lyrics by Utkarsh Ambudkar, Casey Likes, Julia Harriman, Gizel Jiménez, Phillipa Soo, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Amber Gray, Kenita Miller, Sasha Hutchings

Warriors

2024

[REMBRANDT]
Scowling faces on the rooftops...

[FOX]
I count thirty, maybe forty

[SWAN]
The Orphans

[AJAX]
The other crews don't love 'em

[SWAN]
But still, there's plenty of 'em

[AJAX]
We can take these wimps

[SWAN]
Maybe, but it's still a long way home

[COCHISE]
You lead

[FOX & COWGIRL]
We'll follow

[SWAN]
Let me do the talking, be easy

[COWGIRL]
And here comes the leader

[AJAX]
Looks greasy

[SULLY]
What is this, a late-night cosmetology class?
You must be lost! Can I see your hall pass? Ha ha ha!

Someone show these ladies
Wherе they have gone wrong
You darе to cross our lawn?
With your colors on?
Get gone!

[SWAN]
Easy, easy, we are only passing through

[FOX]
On our way downtown—

[FOX & COWGIRL]
From that meeting in the boogie down

[SWAN]
We've got no beef with you

[SULLY]
What meeting?

[SWAN]
Forget it

[FOX]
It was nothing

[SULLY]
What meeting?

[SWAN]
It was chaos

[FOX]
A waste of time

[SULLY]
I'm sensing a little condescension
Do you think we're not big time?

[JESSE]
Two three four!

[SULLY]
Orphans rise

[JESSE]
Orphans rise

[SULLY]
We got a rep as heavy as the whole West Side

[JESSE]
The whole West Side

[SULLY]
That's right
We woulda been invited to the conclave, guys

[JESSE]
We lost our invitation

[SULLY]
Yeah, they write about our rumbles in the New York Post

[JESSE ]
The New York Post

[SULLY]
But someday, the New York Times

[SWAN & FOX]
Heavy, heavy
We would not wanna beef with you

[SULLY, spoken]
Heavy is right

[SWAN]
We are just so

[SWAN & FOX]
Lost and lonely

[FOX]
What do you suggest we do?

[SULLY]
Well, as long as you come in peace

[SWAN & FOX]
We do

[SULLY]
I can vouch for your safe release

[SWAN & FOX]
Thank you

[SULLY]
We extend our protection to those we know

[SWAN]
Let's go

[SULLY]
Wait! In Orphan Town

[JESSE]
In Orphan Town

[SULLY]
We're known for our compassion when the chips are down

[JESSE]
The chips are down

[SULLY]
Oh! And also known for bashin' in our deadly foes

[JESSE]
We also fuck shit up sometimes

[SULLY]
Yeah! If anybody asks, that's how our story goes

[JESSE]
Our story goes

[SULLY & JESSE]
We're compassionate bros

[MERCY]
Buck buck buck buck buck buck b-cack!

[SULLY, spoken]
Mercy!

[MERCY]
Buck buck buck buck buck buck b-cack!

[JESSE, spoken]
Quit playin' Mercy!

[AJAX]
Who is that?

[SWAN]
I dunno, but get ready

[FOX]
Get ready

[REMBRANDT]
Get ready

[MERCY]
Chickens!
What a coop full of chickens!
Oh, you talk the talk
Witcha hand on your b'calk!
But you if you let them walk
Through your turf
Like you're nothing but dirt you are
Chickens!
You ain't orphans, you're bitches!

They bat their eyelashes
And you turn a mess
Damn, you're brain-damaged
These damsels are not in distress

Hey, I like your vest
You wanna gimme one?

[SWAN]
What?

[MERCY]
Did I fuckin' stutter you can get another one why don't ya gimme one?

[SWAN]
Help us get through and I'll see what I can do

[MERCY]
Bitch, I don't want a new one, no I want the vest offa you

[SWAN]
No chance

[SULLY]
Mercy...

[MERCY]
You really gonna let 'em walk around all through your little territory?

[SULLY & JESSE]
Mercy!

[MERCY]
What do you think they're gonna laugh about
When they get back and tell the story?

[SULLY & JESSE]
Mercy—

[SULLY]
I'm losing my cool

[MERCY]
Pssh, you ain't never once been cool

[SWAN]
Leave her alone

[MERCY]
You don't even know me

[SULLY]
Take off your colors

[FOX]
It's just our mark, man

[SULLY]
Gimme that vest

[FOX]
It doesn't mean we're at war

[SULLY]
Or we gotta rain down on you

[SULLY & JESSE]
From the rooftops

[SWAN]
Fuck you
We're walking home

[SULLY]
Orphans? Round up!

[SWAN]
Right through these

[SWAN & FOX]
Wack fucks

[AJAX]
Thank you

[COCHISE]
I'm sayin'

[FOX]
Let's go!

[SULLY]
Warriors

[SULLY & JESSE]
We're gonna rain on you tonight!

[SWAN]
Ajax, you still got that bottle of gin?

[AJAX]
Yes ma'am

[SWAN]
Cochise, gimme your lighter

[COCHISE]
Ha! Light 'em up

[SWAN]
Now all we need's a piece of fabric

[MERCY]
Here!

[SWAN]
Let's make their world a little brighter

[SULLY]
Orphans rise

[JESSE]
Orphans rise

[SULLY]
We're here in greater numbers with a big surprise

[JESSE]
A big surprise

[SULLY]
Girls! You made us get our weapons, now you see what you get

[JESSE]
You see what you get!

[SULLY]
You see what you get!

[JESSE]
You see what you get!

[SULLY]
You see what you get when you mess with

[SULLY & JESSE]
The glorious—

[SULLY]
Orphans, guys!

[JESSE]
Orphans rise!

[SULLY]
