[ALL SEVEN HOMELESS]
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
How time flies
When compassion dies
No stockings
No candy canes
No gingerbread
No safety net
No loose change
No change no
[ONE HOMELESS MAN]
"Santy Claus is coming"
[ALL SEVEN HOMELESS]
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
[ROGER]
Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight
[MARK (spoken)]
I wonder how Alison found out about Mimi?
[ROGER (spoken)]
Maybe a little bird told her
[COLLINS]
Or an angel
I had a little hunch that you could use a little flow
[ROGER]
Tutoring again?
[COLLINS]
Negative
[MARK]
Back at N.Y.U.?
[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
[COLLINS]
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
[MARK & ROGER]
Santa Fe
[COLLINS]
With a private corner banquette
[COLLINS, MARK, & ROGER]
In the back
[COLLINS]
We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe
[MARK & ROGER]
Santa Fe
[ROGER]
But you'd miss New York before you could unpack
[COLLINS, MARK, & ROGER]
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 hear
It isn't much but it took all year
