Vanessa, Usnavi - Champagne Lyrics
VANESSA
So I got you a present
I went downtown to get it
You doing anything tonight?
USNAVI
Cleaning
VANESSA
You're done for the day
USNAVI
No way
VANESSA
Cuz we got a date
USNAVI
Okay
VANESSA
Before you board that plane
I owe you a bottle of cold champagne
USNAVI
No
VANESSA
Yeah, cold champagne
USNAVI
Damn, the bottle's all sweaty and everything
You went and got this?
VANESSA
Pop the champagne
USNAVI
I don't know if we have coffee cups
Or plastic cups
I think Sonny has the cups-
VANESSA
Tonight we're drinking straight from the bottle
Usnavi?
USNAVI
Yeah?
VANESSA
Daniela told me what you did for me
And it's honestly the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me
Now what can I say or do to possibly repay you for your kindness?
USNAVI
How do you get this gold shit off?
VANESSA
Usnavi!
USNAVI
Yeah!
VANESSA
Before we both leave town
Before the corner changes
And the signs are taken down
Let's walk around the neighborhood and say our goodbyes
Usnavi, are you alright?
USNAVI
I'm fine, I'm tryin'a open this champagne
See the twisty thing is broken
But I'm gonna open this damn champagne
VANESSA
Let me see it
USNAVI
No, I got it
VANESSA
Yo, Usnavi, drop the champagne
USNAVI
I mean you went to all this trouble to get us a little bubbly-
VANESSA
And it's gonna be okay
USNAVI
I'm sorry, it's been a long day
VANESSA
You oughta stay
USNAVI
What?
VANESSA
You can use that money to fix this place
USNAVI
Ha ha, very funny
VANESSA
And it's not like Sonny's got role models-
USNAVI
Role models?
VANESSA
Stepping up to the plate
USNAVI
Yo, what are you talking about?
VANESSA
I'm just saying, I think your vacation can wait
USNAVI
Vacation? Vanessa, you're leaving too
VANESSA
I'm going down to West 4th Street
You can take the A
USNAVI
What are you trying to say?
VANESSA
You're leaving the country and we're never gonna see you again
USNAVI
What are you trying to say?
VANESSA
You get everyone addicted to your coffee and off you go
USNAVI
Vanessa, I don't know why you're mad at me
VANESSA
I wish I was mad.
(She kisses him)
I'm just too late.
