You'll See Lyrics - Singles - Original Broadway Cast

BENNY 

Hey you bum - yeah, you, move over 

Get your ass off the Range Rover 

MARK 

That attitude toward the homeless is just what 

Maureen is protesting tonight 

BENNY 

Maureen is protesting 

Losing her performance space 

Not my attitude 

ROGER 

What happened to Benny 

What happened to his heart 

And the ideals he once pursued 

BENNY 

The owner of that lot next door 

Has a right to do with it as he pleases 

COLLINS 

Happy birthday, Jesus! 

BENNY 

The rent 

MARK 

You're wasting your time 

ROGER 

We're broke 

MARK 

And you broke your word - This is absurd 

BENNY 

There is one way you won' t have to pay 

ROGER 

I knew it! 

BENNY 

Next door, the home of Cyberarts, you see 

And now that the block is re-zoned 

Our dream can become a reality 

You'll see boys 

You'll see boys 

A state of the art, digital, virtual interactive studio 

I'll forego your rent and on paper guarantee 

That you can stay here for free 

If you do me one small favor 

MARK 

What? 

BENNY 

Convince Maureen to cancel her protest 

MARK 

Why not just get an injunction 

Or call the cops? 

BENNY 

I did, and they're on stand by 

But my investors would rather 

I handle this quietly 

ROGER 

You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city 

Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV! 

BENNY 

You want to produce films and write songs? 

You need somewhere to do it! 

It's what we used to dream about 

Think twice before you pooh-pooh it 

You'll see boys 

You'll see boys 

You'll see - The beauty of the studio 

That lets us do our work and get paid 

with condos on the top 

Whose rent keeps open our shop 

Just stop the protest 

And you'll have it made 

You'll see - or you'll pack 

ANGEL 

That boy could use some Prozac 

ROGER 

Or heavy drugs 

MARK 

Or group hugs 

COLLINS 

Which reminds me - 

We have to make a detour tonight 

Anyone who wants can come alone 

ANGEL 

Life Support's a group for people 

coping with life 

You don't have to stay too long 

MARK 

First I've got a protest to save 

ANGEL 

Roger? 

ROGER 

I'm not much company you'll find 

MARK 

Behave! 

ANGEL 

He'll catch up later - He's just got 

other things on his mind 

You'll see boys 

MARK & COLLINS 

We'll see boys 

ROGER 

Let it be boys! 

COLLINS 

I like boys 

ANGEL 

Boys like me 

ALL 

We'll see.
