Letra de 'Finale (The Lot And The Loft)' de Rent

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
'Cause Santy Claus ain't coming
No room at the Holiday Inn - again
Well, maybe next year
Or - when

MARK
December 24th, ten p.m. 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

MARK
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
I wonder how Alison
Found out about Mimi?

ROGER
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

ALL THREE
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

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 hear
It isn't much
But it took all year
