High Times, Hard Times

High Times, Hard Times is a song sung by Ann-Margaret (Medda Larkson) in the film Newsies. It won a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song in 1993.
When the film was adapted for the stage, the song was cut along with another song, "My Lovey-Dovey Baby". Both were replaced with another song for Medda called "That's Rich".
==Lyrics==
Medda:
High times, hard times
Sometimes the living is sweet
And sometimes there's nothing to eat
But I always land on my feet
So when there's dry times
I wait for high times and then
I put on my best
And I stick out my chest
And I'm off to the races again!
<My good friend the mayor, he called me today
He said all the voters are turning away
"Help me," he cried, "or they'll give me the axe!"
I said, "Your Honor, you've got to relax ..." Everybody!
All: High times, hard times
Sometimes the living is sweet
And sometimes there's nothing to eat
But I always land on my feet
So when there's dry times
I wait for high times and then
I put on my best
And I stick out my chest
And I'm off to the races again!
Medda: So your old lady don't love you no more
So you're afraid there's a wolf at your door
So you got street rats that scream in your ear
All: You win some, you lose some, my dear!
Oh, high times, hard times
Sometimes the living is sweet
And sometimes there's nothing to eat
But I always land on my feet
So when there's dry times
I wait for high times and then
I put on my best
And I stick out my chest
And I'm off to the races again!
I put on my best
And I stick out my chest
And I'm off
And I'm off
And I'm off to the races again!
