Today 4 U Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

Bustelo, Marlboro, banana by the bunch 

A box of Captain Crunch will taste so good 

And firewood, look, it's Santa Claus 

Hold your applause, oh hi 

Oh hi after seven months? Sorry 

This boy could use some Stoli 

Oh, holy night, struck gold at MIT 

They expelled me for my theory of actual reality 

Which I'll soon impart to the couch potatoes 

At New York University 

Still haven't left the house? 

I was waiting for you, don't you know? 

Well, tonight's the night 

Come to the Life Cafe after Maureen's show, no flow 

Gentlemen, our benefactor on this Christmas Eve 

Whose charity is only matched by talent, I believe 

A new member of the Alphabet City 

Avant Garde, Angel Dumott Schunard 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

And you should hear her beat 

You earned this on the street? 

It was my lucky day today on Avenue A 

When a lady in a limousine drove my way 

She said, "Darling, be a dear, haven't slept in a year 

I need your help to make my neighbor's yappy dog disappear" 

"This Akita Evita just won't shut up 

I believe if you play nonstop that pup 

Will breathe its very last high strung breath 

I'm certain that cur will bark itself to death" 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

We agreed on a fee, a thousand dollar guarantee 

Tax free and a bonus if I trim her tree 

Now who could foretell that it would go so well? 

But sure as I am here that dog is now in doggy hell 

After an hour, Evita in all her glory 

On the window ledge of that 23rd story 

Like Thelma and Louise did when they got the blues 

Swan dove into the courtyard of the Gracie Mews 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

Back on the street where I met my sweet 

Where he was moaning and groaning on the cold concrete 

The nurse took him home for some Mercurochrome 

And I dressed his wound and got him back on his feet, sing it 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

I said, today 4 u, tomorrow for me 

Today 4 u, tomorrow for me
