Happy New Year A Lyrics by Original Television Cast of Rent Live

Rent (Original Soundtrack of the Fox Live Television Event)

2019

It's still winter, it's still cold
And so in honor of the one week anniversary of this auspicious occasion, we celebrate the only way we know how
We just gotta break in
[MIMI]
How long till next year?
[ROGER]
Three and half minutes...
[MIMI]
I'm giving up my vices
I'm going back - back to school
Eviction or not
This week's been so hot
As long as I've got you
I know I'll be cool
I couldn't crack the love code, dear
'Til you made the lock on my heart explode
It's gonna be a happy new year
A happy new year
[MARK]
Coast is clear
You're supposed to be working
That's for midnight
Where are they?
There isn't much time
[MIMI]
Maybe they're dressing
I mean what does one wear that's apropos
For a party - that's also a crime?
[MAUREEN]
Chips, anyone?
[MARK]
You can take the girl out of Jersey
But you can't take the Jersey out of the girl
[MAUREEN]
My riot got you on TV
I deserve a royalty
[MIMI]
Be nice, you two
Or no god awful champagne
[MAUREEN]
Don't mind if I do
No luck?
[ROGER]
Bolted plywood, padlocked with a chain
A total dead end
[MAUREEN]
Just like my ex-girlfriend
[MAUREEN]
Honey...?
I know you're there ...
Please pick up the phone
Are you okay?
It's not funny
It's not fair
How can I atone?
Are you okay?
I lose control
But I can learn to behave
Give me one more chance
And I'll do what I should
I'll kiss your Doc Martens
Let me kiss your Doc Martens
Do everything you wish I would
[JOANNE]
That might be okay
Down, girl
Heel...stay
I did a bit of research
With my friends at legal aid
Technically, you're squatters
There's hope
But just in case
[MARK & JOANNE]
Rope!
[MARK]
We can hoist a line
[JOANNE]
To the fire escape
[MARK]
In the back, and tie off at
[MARK & JOANNE]
There's a bench!
[MAUREEN]
I can't take them as chums
[JOANNE]
Start hoisting... wench
[ROGER]
Last week I wanted just to disappear
My life was dust
But now it just may be a happy new year
A happy new year
[COLLINS]
Bond, James Bond
[ANGEL]
And Pussy Galore in person
[MIMI]
Pussy, you came prepared
[ANGEL]
I was a boy scout once
And a brownie
'Til some brat got scared
[COLLINS]
Aha! Moneypenny, my martini!
[MIMI]
Will bad champagne do?
[ROGER]
That's shaken, not stirred
[COLLINS]
Pussy, the bolts
[ANGEL]
Just say the word!
[MIMI]
Two minutes left to execute our plan
[COLLINS]
Where's everyone else?
[ROGER]
Playing Spiderman
[MARK]
Ironic close up: tight
On the phone machine's red light
'Cause while we were locked out
Benny had the power turned back on
