Happy New Year Lyrics - Rent

MARK 

Pan to the padlocked door. New Year's rocking eve. The 

breaking-back-into-the-building party... 

MIMI 

How long til 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 

Propos 

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 Hickville 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 

(on cell phone) 

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 

Let Me Be Your Slave 

I'll Kiss Your Doc Martens 

Let Me Kiss Your Doc Martens 

Your Every Wish I Will Obey 

(Joanne enters) 

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 

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 enters with Angel) 

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 

Once The Boho Boys Are Gone 

The Power Mysteriously Comes On
