Rent - Happy new year's lyrics

rate me

MIMI

How long til next year?

ROGER

Three and a half minutes...

MIMI

I'm giving up my vices

I'm going back - Back to school

Eviction or not

This week's been so hot

That long as I've got you

I know I'll be cool

I couldn't crack the love code, dear

'Til you made the lock on my heart explode

It's gonna be a happy new year

A happy new year

MARK

Coast is clear

You're supposed to be working

That's for midnight

Where are they?

There isn't much time

MIMI

Maybe they're dressing

I mean what does one wear that's apropos?

For a party - that's also a crime

MAUREEN

Chips, anyone?

MARK

You can take the girl out of Hicksville

But you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl

MAUREEN

My riot got you on TV

I deserve a royalty

MIMI

Be nice you two

Or no God awful Champagne

MAUREEN

Don't mind if I do

No luck?

ROGER

Bolted plywood, padlocked with a chain

A total dead end

MAUREEN

Just like my ex-girlfriend

Honey...?

I know you're there...

Please pick up the phone

Are you okay?

It's not funny

It's not fair

How can I atone?

Are you okay?

I lose control

But I can learn to behave

Give me one more chance

Let me be your slave

I'll kiss your Doc Martens

Let me kiss your Doc Martens

Your every wish I will obey

JOANNE

That might be okay

Down girl

Heel... stay

I did a bit of research

With my friends at legal aid

Technically, you're squatters

There's hope

But just in case

MARK & JOANNE

Rope!

MARK

We can hoist a line --

JOANNE

To the fire escape --

MARK

And tie off at

MARK & JOANNE

That bench

MAUREEN

I can't take them as chums

JOANNE

Start hoisting... wench

ROGER

I think I should be laughing

Yet I forget

Forget how to begin

I'm feeling something inside

And yet I still can't decide

If I should hide

Or make a wide open grin

Last week I wanted just to disappear

My life was dust

But now it just may be a happy new year

A happy new year

COLLINS

Bond -- James Bond

ANGEL

And Pussy Galore - In person

MIMI

Pussy - You came prepared

ANGEL

I was a Boy Scout once

And a Brownie

'Til some brat got scared

COLLINS

Aha! Moneypenny - My martini!

MIMI

Will bad Champagne do?

ROGER

That's shaken - Not stirred

COLLINS

Pussy - The bolts

MIMI

Two minutes left to execute our plan

COLLINS

Where's everyone else?

ROGER

Playing Spiderman

MARK

Ironic close up : Tight

On the phone machine's red light

Once the Boho Boys are gone

The power mysteriously comes on
