He's always the brains and never the brawn

Of the Newsboys schemes and plots for respect.

Though never did he expect that he'd be drawn

Into such a venture and dialect.

True he was the good schoolboy to dad

But now he has got to fight for whats fair

With the newsboys against those truly bad

Businessmen and politics each a bear.

He didn't really think he could do it

But they all had tremendous faith in Dave.

So thus he combines a handshake with spit

And gained the confidence that he did crave.

In the end he helped them to seize the day,

And maybe perhaps helped get Jack to stay.
