Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway Page #5

Can't you spare a dime or two

Here but for the grace of God go you

You'll be merry

I'll be merry

Though merry

Ain't in my vocabulary

No sleigh bells

No Santa Claus

No yule log

No tinsel

No holly

No hearth

- No

- Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

No room at the Holiday Inn

Oh, no

And it's beginning to snow

Hats, bats, shoes, booze

Mountain bikes, potpourri

Leather bags, girlie mags

Forty-fives, AZ

No one's buying

Feel like crying

No room at the Holiday Inn

Oh, no

And it's beginning to snow

How about a fur

In perfect shape

Owned by an MBA from uptown?

I got a tweed

Broken in by a greedy

Broker who went broke

And then broke down

- You don't have to do this

- Hush your mouth, it's Christmas

I do not deserve you, Angel

- Give, give

- Wait

- All you do is give

- What's on the floor?

- Give me some way

- Let's see some more

- To show

- No, no, no

How you've touched me so

Kiss me

It's beginning to snow

She said

"Would you light my candle?"

And she put on a pout

And she wanted you

To take her out tonight?

- Right

- She got you out

She was more than okay

But I pushed her away

It was bad, I got mad

And I had to get her

Out of my sight

Wait, wait, wait

You said she was sweet

Let's go eat

I'll just get fat

It's the one vice left

When you're dead meat

- There, that's her

- Maureen?

Mimi!

I should go

Hey, it's beginning to snow

I'm dreaming of a white

Right Christmas

Follow the man, follow the man

With his pockets full of the jam

Follow the man, follow the man

Help me out, Daddy, if you can

- Got any D, man?

- I'm cool

- Got any C, man?

- I'm cool

Got any X? Any smack?

Any horse? Any jugie boogie boy?

Any blow?

- Hey

- Hey

I just want to say

I'm sorry for the way

- Forget it

- I blew up

- Can I make it up to you?

- How?

- Dinner party?

- That'll do

Hey, lover boy, cutie pie

You steal my client, you die

You didn't miss me

You won't miss her

You'll never lack for customers

I'm willin', I'm illin'

I gotta get my sickness off

Gotta run, gotta ride

Gotta gun, gotta hide, gotta go

And it's beginning to snow

We're out of luck, Allison

The protest is on

L.L.Bean, Geoffrey Beene

Burberry zip out lining

Mark, this is Mimi.

She'll be dining with us.

- Here's a new arrival

- That is an ounce

- Hats, bats, rats

- That's my coat

- We give discounts

- I think we've met

- Let's get a better one

- It's a sham

- That's what he said

- I said it's a gram

- She's a thief

- But she brought us together

- Which investor is coming?

- I'll take the leather

Your father? Damn.

Let's go to the lot

Maureen's performing

- Who's Maureen?

- His ex.

But I am over her

I should tell you

I have to tell you

- Let's not hold hands yet

- Is that a warning?

I need to take it slow

I should tell you, I should tell you

I should tell you, I should tell you

I should tell you

I-

And it's beginning to

And it's beginning to

And it's beginning to

Joanne? Which way to the stage?

Snow

Maureen's performance.

Last night I had a dream.

I found myself in a desert

called Cyberland.

It was hot.

My canteen had sprung a leak,

and I was...

...thirsty.

Out of the abyss walked a cow.

Elsie.

I asked if she had anything to drink.

She said:

"I'm forbidden to produce milk

In Cyberland we only drink

Diet Coke"

Yes.

She said:

"Only thing to do

Is jump over the moon

They've closed everything real down

Like barns and troughs

And performance spaces

And replaced it all with lies

And rules and virtual life"

But there is a way out.

Leap of faith, leap of faith

Leap of faith, leap of faith

Only thing to do

Is jump over the moon

I gotta get out of here

It's like I'm being tied to the hood

Of a yellow rental truck

Packed in

With fertilizer and fuel oil

Pushed over a cliff

By a suicidal Mickey Mouse

I've

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta find a way

To jump over the moon

Only thing to do

Is jump over the moon

Then a little bulldog entered.

His name, we have learned,

was Benny.

And although he once

had principles...

...he abandoned them

to live as a lapdog...

...to a wealthy daughter

of the revolution.

A one, two, three

"That's bull," Benny said

"Ever since the cat took up the fiddle

That cow's been jumpy

The dish and the spoon were evicted

From the table and eloped

She's had trouble with her milk

And the moon ever since

Maybe it's a female thing

'Cause who'd wanna leave

Cyberland anyway?

Walls ain't so bad

The dish and the spoon, for instance

They're down on their luck

They come knockin'

On my doghouse door

And I said

'Not in my backyard, utensils.

Go back to China"'

"The only way out is up"

Elsie whispered to me

"A leap

Of faith"

"Still thirsty?"

"Parched. "

"Have some milk. "

And I lowered myself

beneath her swollen udder...

...and sucked the sweetest milk

I had ever tasted.

"Climb onboard," she said

And as a harvest moon

rose over Cyberland...

...we reared back,

we sprang into a gallop...

...leaping out of orbit.

I awoke, singing...

Singing.

Sh*t.

Leap of faith

Leap of faith

Leap of faith

Leap of faith

Only thing to do

Only thing to do is jump

Only thing to do is

Jump over the moon

Only thing to do is

Jump over the moon

Over the moon

Over the...

Moo with me.

Moo, yes. Oh, it's so great.

Yeah. Up there, let me hear you.

Yes!

Thank you.

No, please, no, not tonight

Mister, can't you go?

- Can't have a scene

- What?

Please go. You- Hello sir.

I said no. Important customer.

What am I, just a blur?

- You sit all night, you never buy

- That's a lie, that's a lie

- I had a tea the other day

- You couldn't pay

Oh, yeah.

Benjamin Coffin III, here?

Oh, no

Wine and beer

The enemy of Avenue A

And Mr. Grey.

What brings the mogul in his own

mind to the Life Cafe?

I would like to propose a toast

to Maureen's noble try.

- It went well.

- Go to hell.

Was the yuppie scum stomped?

Not counting the homeless,

how many tickets weren't comped?

- Why did Muffy-

- Allison.

Miss the show?

There was a death in the family

if you must know.

- Sorry.

- Who died?

Our Akita.

- Evita.

- Evita.

Mimi. I'm surprised.

A bright and charming girl like you

Hangs out with these slackers

Who don't adhere to deals

They make fun

Yet I'm the one

Attempting to do some good

Or do you really want

A neighborhood

Where people piss

On your stoop every night?

Bohemia

Bohemia's a fallacy in your head

This is Calcutta

Bohemia is dead

Dearly beloved

We gather here

To say our goodbyes

Here she lies

No one knew her worth

The late, great daughter

Of Mother Earth

On this night

When we celebrate the birth

In that little town of Bethlehem

We raise our glass

You bet your ass

To

La vie

Bohme

La vie bohme

La vie bohme

La vie bohme

- La vie bohme

- To days of inspiration

Playing hooky

Makin' something out of nothing
