Lyrics: Finale [A]

[ALL SEVEN HOMELESS]
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"

[ALL]
Cause Santy Claus Ain't Coming

No Room At The Holiday Inn-Again
Well, Maybe Next Year--
Or--When

[MARK]
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

First Shot Roger
With The Fender Guitar He Just Got Out
Of Hock
When He Sold The Car
That Took Him Away And Back

[ROGER]
I Found My Song

[MARK]
He Found His Song
If He Could Just Find Mimi

[ROGER]
I Tried - You Know I Tried

[MARK]
Fade In On Mark
Who's Still In The Dark

[ROGER]
But He's Got Great Footage

[MARK]
Which He's Cut Together

[ROGER]
To Screen Tonight

[MARK]
In Honor Of Benny's Wife

[ROGER]
Muffy

[MARK]
Alison
Pulling Benny Out Of The East Village
Location

[The power blows]

[ROGER]
Then again. Maybe we won't screen it tonight.

[MARK]
I wonder how Alison found out about Mimi?

[ROGER]
Maybe a bird told her.

[COLLINS]
Or an angel.

I Had A little Hunch You Coudl Use
A Little 'Flow

[ROGER]
Tutoring Again?

[COLLINS]
Negative

[MARK]
Back At NYU?

[COLLINS]
No, No, No
I Rewired The ATM At The Food
Emporium
To Provide An Honorarium To Anyone
With The Code

[ROGER & MARK]
The Code-
Well...?

[COLLINS]
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

[ALL THREE]
Let's Open Up A Restaurant In Santa Fe
With A Private Corner Banquette In
The Back

[COLLINS]
We'll Make It Yet, We'll Somehow Get To
Santa Fe

[ROGER]
But You'd Miss New York Before You
Could Unpack

[ALL]
OHH--

[MAUREEN]
Mark! Roger! Anyone - Help!

[MARK]
Maureen?

[MAUREEN]
It's Mimi - I Can't Get Her Up The Stairs

[ROGER]
No!

[MAUREEN]
She Was Huddled In The Park In
The Dark
And She Was Freezing
And Begged To Come Here

[ROGER]
Over Here
Oh, God--

[MIMI]
"Got A Light - I Know You - You're Shivering..."

[JOANNE]
She's Been Living On The Street

[ROGER]
We Need Some Heat

[MIMI]
I'm Shivering

[MARK]
We Can Buy Some Wood And Something To Eat

[COLLINS]
I'm Afraid She Needs More Than Heat

[MIMI]
I Heard That

[MAUREEN]
Collins Will Call For A Doctor, Honey

[MIMI]
Don't Waste Your Money On Mimi, Me, Me

[COLLINS]
Hello-911?
I'm On Hold

[MIMI]
Cold...Cold...Would You Light My Candle

[ROGER]
Yes-We'll Oh God-Find A Candle

[MIMI]
I Should Tell You
I Should Tell You

[ROGER]
I Should Tell You
I Should Tell You

[MIMI]
I Should Tell You
Benny Wasn't Any--

[ROGER]
SHHH-I Know

I Should Tell You Why I Left
It Wasn't Cause I Didn't--

[MIMI]
I Know
I Should Tell You

[ROGER]
I Should Tell You

[MIMI]
I Should Tell You
I Love You--

[ROGER]
Who Do You Think You Are?
Leaving Me Alone With My Guitar
Hold On There's Something You
Should Here
It Isn't Much But It Took All Year
