Jonathan Larson - Finale A Lyrics

Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
How time flies
When compassion dies

No stocking
No candy canes
No gingerbread
No safety net
No loose change
No change no

One homeless man
"Santy claus is coming"

'Cause santy claus ain't coming

No room at the Holiday Inn again
Well, maybe next year
Or, when

December 24th, ten PM eastern
Standard time
I can't believe a year went by so fast
Time to see what we have time to see
Turn the projector on

With the fender guitar he just got out
Of hock
When he sold the car
That took him away and back

I found my song

He found his song
If he could just find mimi

I tried, you know I tried

Fade in on mark
Who's still in the dark

But he's got great footage

Which he's cut together

To screen tonight

In honor of benny's wife

Muffy

Pulling benny out of the east village
Location

Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight

I wonder how alison found out about mimi?

Maybe a bird told her

Or an angel

I had a little hunch you could use
A little 'flow

Tutoring again?

Negative

Back at nyu?

No, no, no
I rewired the atm at the food
Emporium
To provide an honorarium to anyone
With the code

Roger and mark
The code
Well?

A-n-g-e-l

Yet robin hooding isn't the solution
The powers that be must be undermined
Where they dwell in a small exclusive
Gourmet institution

Where we overcharge the wealthy
Clientele

Let's open up a restaurant in santa fe
With a private corner banquette in
The back

We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to
Santa fe

But you'd miss new york before you
Could unpack

Oh

Mark, Roger, anyone, help

Maureen?

It's Mimi, I can't get her up the stairs

No

She was huddled in the park in
The dark
And she was freezing
And begged to come here

Over here
Oh, god

"Got a light, I know you, you're shivering"

She's been living on the street

We need some heat

I'm shivering

We can buy some wood and something
To eat

I'm afraid she needs more than heat

I heard that

Collins will call for a doctor, honey

Don't waste your money on mimi, me, me

Hell, 911?
I'm on hold

Cold, cold, would you light my candle

Yes, we'll oh god, find a candle

I should tell you
I should tell you

I should tell you
I should tell you

I should tell you
Benny wasn't any

Shh, I know

I should tell you why I left
It wasn't 'cause I didn't

I know
I should tell you

I should tell you

I should tell you
I love you

Who do you think you are?
Leaving me alone with my guitar
Hold on there's something you
Should hear
It isn't much but it took all year
