Today 4 U Lyrics - Rent - Rent

Gentlemen, our benefactor on this Christmas Day 

Whose charity is only matched by talent, I must say 

A new member of the Alphabet City Avant-garde 

Angel Dumott Schunard 

Today for you, tomorrow for me 

Today for you, 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 for you, tomorrow for me 

Today for you, 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 twenty third story 

Like Thelma and Louise did 

When they got the blues 

Swan dove into the courtyard 

Of the Gracie Mews 

Today for you, tomorrow for me 

Today for you, 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 wounds and got him back on his feet, sing it 

Today for you, tomorrow for me 

Today for you, tomorrow for me 

I said, today for you, tomorrow for me 

Today for you, tomorrow for me
