Happy New Year Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

MIMI 

How long til next year? 

ROGER 

Three and a half minutes. . . 

MIMI 

I'm giving up my vices 

I'm going back, back to school 

Eviction or not 

This week's be so hot 

That long as I 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 thats apropos 

For a party - That's also a crime 

MAUREEN 

Chips, anyone? 

MARK 

You can take the girl out of Hicksville 

But you can't take the Hicksville 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 

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 learn to behave 

Give me one more chance 

Let me be your slave 

I'll kiss your Doc Martens 

Let me kiss your doc Martens 

Your every wish I will obey 

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 hop 

But just in case 

MARK & JOANNE 

Rope! 

MARK 

We can hoist a line-- 

JOANNE 

To the fire escape-- 

MARK 

And tie off at 

MARK & JOANNE 

That bench! 

MAUREEN 

I can't take them as chums 

JOANNE 

Start hoisting. . .Wench 

ROGER 

I think I should be laughing 

Yet I forget 

Forget how to begin 

I'm feeling something inside 

And yet I still can't decide 

If I should hide 

Or make a wide open grin 

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? 

COLLINS 

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 

Once the boho boys are gone 

The power mysteriously comes on
