Happy New Year B Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Rent

Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1996

[MAUREEN]
I think we need an agent!
[MARK]
We?
[JOANNE]
Thats selling out
[MARK]
But it's nice to dream!
[MAUREEN]
Yeah! It's network TV
And it's all thanks to me!
[MARK]
Somehow i think i smell a whiff of a scheme!
[JOANNE]
Me too
[MAUREEN]
We can plan another protest
[JOANNE]
We?
[MAUREEN]
This time you can shoot from the start
You'll direct, starring me!
[MARK, MAUREEN, JOANNE]
5, 4, 3
Open sesame! Happy new year!
Happy new year!
Happy new...
[BENNY]
I see that you've beaten me
To the punch
[MARK]
How did you know we'd be here?
[BENNY]
I had a hunch
[MARK]
You're not mad?
[BENNY]
I'm here to end this war
It's a shame you went and destroyed the door
[MIMI]
Why all of a sudden the big about face?
[BENNY]
The credit is yours
You made a good case
[ROGER]
What case?
[BENNY]
Mimi came to see me
And she had much to say
[MIMI]
That's not how you put it
At all yesterday!
[BENNY]
I couldn't stop thinking
About the whole mess!
Mark you'll want to get this on film
[MARK]
I guess
[BENNY]
I regret the unlucky circumstances
Of the last seven days
[ROGER]
Circumstance?
You padlocked our door!
[BENNY]
And it's a great pleasure on behalf of cyber arts
That I hand you this key
[ANGEL]
Golf claps
[MARK]
I had no juice in my battery
[BENNY]
Reshoot!
[ROGER]
Oh I see this is a photo opportunity
[MAUREEN]
The benevolent god
Ushers the poor artists back to their flat
Were you planning on taking
Down the barbed wire from the lot too?
[ROGER]
Anything but that
[BENNY]
Clearing the lot
Was a safety concern
We break ground this month
But you can return
[MAUREEN]
That's why you're here
With people you hate
Instead of with Muffy
At Muffy's estate
[BENNY]
I honestly rather'd be with you tonight than in Westport
[ROGER]
Spare us old sport, the sound bite
[BENNY]
Mimi, since you were so seductive
[MIMI]
You came onto me!
[BENNY]
Persuade him not to be so counterproductive
[ROGER]
Liar!
[BENNY]
Why not tell them what you wore to my place?
[MIMI]
I was on my way to work
[BENNY]
Black leather and lace
My desk was a mess
I think I'm still sore
[MIMI]
Cause I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore
[BENNY]
Does your boyfriend know who your last boyfriend was?
[ROGER]
I'm not her boyfriend, I don't care what she does!
[ANGEL]
People, is this any way to start a new year, have compassion
Benny just lost his cat
[BENNY]
My dog, but i appreciate that
[ANGEL]
My cat had a fall, and I went through hell
[BENNY]
It's like losing a... How did you know that she fell?
[COLLINS]
Champagne?
[BENNY]
Don't mind if I do. To dogs...
[ALL BUT BENNY]
No, Benny, to you!
[ANGEL]
Let's make a resolution
[MIMI]
I'll drink to that
[COLLINS]
Let's always stay friends
[JOANNE]
Though we may have our disputes
[MAUREEN]
This family tree's got deep roots
[MARK]
Friendship is thicker than blood
[ROGER]
That depends
[MIMI]
Depends on trust
[ROGER]
Depends on true devotion
[JOANNE]
Depends on love
[MARK]
Depends on not denying emotion!
[ROGER]
Perhaps
[ALL]
It's gonna be a happy new year!
[ROGER]
I guess
[ALL]
It's gonna be a happy new year!
[ROGER]
You're right
[ANGEL]
It's gonna be a happy new year!
[ROGER & MIMI]
I'm sorry
[ROGER]
Coming
[MIMI]
In a minute. I'm fine. Go
[THE MAN]
Well, well, well. What have we here?
It's gonna be a happy new year. There, there...
