Tune Up #2 Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Rent

Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1996

[MARK]
Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger
[ROGER]
I'm writing one great song --
[MARK]
The phone rings
[ROGER]
Yes!
[MARK]
We screen
[MARK/ROGER VOICEMAIL]
Speak...
[COLLINS]
"Chestnuts roasting ---"
[MARK & ROGER]
Collins!
[COLLINS]
I'm downstairs
[MARK]
Hey!
[COLLINS]
Roger picked up the phone?
[MARK]
No, it's me
[COLLINS]
Throw down the key
[MARK]
A wild night is now pre-ordained
[COLLINS]
I may be detained
(Phone call cuts off)
[MARK]
What does he mean...?
(Phone rings again)
What do you mean "detained"?
[BENNY]
Ho ho ho!
[MARK & ROGER]
Benny! Shit
[BENNY]
Dudes, I'm on my way
[MARK & ROGER]
Great! Fuck
[BENNY]
I need the rent
[MARK]
What rent?
[BENNY]
This past year's rent which I let slide
[MARK]
Let slide? You said we were "golden"
[ROGER]
When you bought the building
[MARK]
When we were roommates
[ROGER]
Remember - you lived here
[BENNY]
How could I forget?
You, me, Collins and Maureen
How is the drama queen?
[MARK]
She's performing tonight
[BENNY]
I know
Still her production manager?
[MARK]
Two days ago I was bumped
[BENNY]
You still dating her?
[MARK]
Last month I was dumped
[ROGER]
She's in love
[BENNY]
She's got a new man?
[MARK]
Well, no...
[BENNY]
What's his name?
[MARK & ROGER]
Joanne
[BENNY]
Rent, my amigos, is due
Or I will have to evict you
Be there in a few
(Roger playing chords)
[MARK]
The power blows...
