Happy New Year Lyrics > Rent

Mark
Pan to the padlocked door. New Year's rocking eve. The
breaking-back-into-the-building party...

Mimi
How long till 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 weeks been so hot
As long as I 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
Cost is clear
Your suppose to be working, thats for midnight
Where are they?
There isnt much time

Mimi
Maybe they're dressing?
I mean what does one wear thats appropo for a party
Thats 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 your 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 enters)

Joanne
That might be okay
Down girl
heel, stay

I did a bit of research with my friends at legal aid
Technically your squatters
Theres hope
But just in case

Mark and Roger
Rope!

Mark
We can hoist a line

Joanne
To the fire escape

Mark
And tie off at

Mark and Joanne
that bench

Maureen
I can't take them as chums

Joanne
So 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 made a wide open grin

Last week I wanted just to dissapear
My life was dust
But now it just may be a Happy New Year
A Happy New Year

(Collins and Angel enter)

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. till some brat got scared

Collins
Aha- Moneypenny my martini!

Mimi
Will bad champagne do?

Roger
Thats shaken not stirred

Collins
Pussy the bolts

Angel
Just say the word

Mimi
Two minutes left to execute our plan

Collins
Wheres 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...
