Original Broadway Cast Finale Lyrics:
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
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
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 he
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
COLLINS
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
MAUREED
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
