Rita
We need to clean you up, child, and get you some on the job training.
Rita
[sings]
Now listen up: you've got a lot to learn, / and if you don't learn, you don't eat./But if you're tough, an' always use yo' head, / you'll feel right at home on the street. / When you've got talent, everything is free. / Watch how we do things: Ooh, I'll guarantee / You're gonna see, how - the best survive. / We make an art, out - of stayin' alive. / If you do just as you're told, / these are streets of gold!. Ev'ry bouleva'd, is: a Miracle Mile. / We take the town, and, we take it with style! / If you play it brave an' bold, / these are streets of gold!.
