Boho Days Lyrics by Michael McElroy

Jonathan Sings Larson

2007

Don't step on Simone or Renaud or Phillipe
They're still on the living room floor asleep
Flight was delayed, but they got it so cheap
In Amsterdam
The cat jumped up to the fire escape
He's a little shook up, but he don't have a scrape
Climb up to the roof, let's make a crepe
You bring the jam
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
Bohemia
Shower's in the kitchen, there might be some soap
Dishes in the sink, brush your teeth if you can cope
Toilet's in the closet, you'd better hope
There's a light bulb in there
Dino called yesterday, the rent is overdue
Con Ed and New York Telephone are mad too
Better screw the calls for a day or two or
Cough up your share
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
Bohemia
Revolving door roommates, prick up your ears
Fourteen roommates in just four years:
Ann and Max and Jonathan and Jonathan and Kerri
David, Tim, no Tim was just a guest from June to January
Margaret, David, Lisa, Susie, Steven, Jo and Sam
And Elsa, the bill collector's dream, who still is on the lam
The cats: Lucy, Mr. Beebe, Bouncer, rest his soul
And Finster, who took one look and
Stayed for days down in that hole
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
This is the life, bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
Bohemia
The garbage trucks are turning into limousines
Rat infested diners now are fancy restaurants
A gallery opens - you know what that means:
There goes the neighborhood
There goes the neighborhood
Here come the debutantes
Here come the debutantes
The time is flying and everything is dying
I thought by now I'd have a dog and kid and wife
This ship is sort of sinking, so let's start drinking
Before we start thinking: Is this a life?
Is this a life? bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
Is this a life? no-no-no-no-no
Is this a life? no-no-no-no-no
Bohemia, Bohemia
Bo-bo-bo-bo
