Finale
Daphne Rubin-Vega Adam Pascal Lyrics

All Seven Homeless
All seven homeless but the bells of Christmas are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas has arrived and the bells are announcing its presence

Christmas bells are ringing
The happiness of Christmas and the ringing of the bells are everywhere

Christmas bells are ringing
The ringing of the Christmas bells is spreading joy everywhere

How time flies
How quickly time moves

When compassion dies
When kindness is lost

No stockings
Nothing to put presents in

No candy canes
No sweets or treats

No gingerbread
No gingerbread cookies or houses

No safety net
There's no one to make sure that the homeless are safe and taken care of

No loose change
No small cash donations to help out

No change no
No donations at all

Santy Claus is coming
Even the homeless still believe in Santa Claus

Cause Santy Claus ain't coming
But Santa Claus doesn't really exist

No room at the Holiday Inn - again
Even the inn for the holiday is all taken up

Well, maybe next year --
But there is still hope for the future

Or -- when
Or, perhaps later down the road

December 24th, ten PM eastern standard time
It's Christmas Eve, and the time is 10 PM in the Eastern Time Zone

I can't believe a year went by so fast
Time went by so quickly

Time to see what we have time to see
It's time to make the most of life while there's still time to experience it

Turn the projector on
It's time to start the movie

First shot Roger
The movie starts with a shot of Roger

With the fender guitar he just got out of hock
Playing a guitar he just got out of pawn

When he sold the car that took him away and back
His car was sold to take him to his future but also brought him back to his past

I found my song
Roger finds his song in the movie

He found his song
Mark affirms that he has found his song

If he could just find Mimi
Roger needs to find Mimi

I tried - you know I tried
Roger tried to find Mimi but failed

Fade in on Mark
The movie cuts to Mark

Who's still in the dark
Mark is still in the dark about Mimi's location

But he's got great footage
Despite not being successful, Mark has some good footage for the movie

Which he's cut together
He is cutting and editing the movie footage

To screen tonight
The movie will be screened tonight

In honor of Benny's wife
The movie is showing in memory of Benny's late wife, Muffy

Pulling Benny out of the East Village location
The movie is being shown to lure Benny out of his current position in the East Village

Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight.
Mark considers that they might not have the movie ready in time to show it tonight

I wonder how Alison found out about Mimi?
Mark is curious how Alison learned about Mimi's condition and location

Maybe a little bird told her.
Perhaps someone shared information about Mimi with Alison

Or an angel.
Alternatively, it might have been an angel that told Alison about Mimi

I had a little hunch that you could use a little flow
Collins notes that he had a feeling Mark could use a little help

Tutoring again?
Roger wonders if Collins is going to tutor again

Negative
Collins clarifies that he is not going to tutor again

Back at N.Y.U.?
Mark asks Collins if he's going back to NYU

No, no, no
Collins clarifies that he's not going back to NYU

I rewired the ATM at the food emporium
Collins hacked an ATM at a food store

To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code
He set it up to give someone money if they type in the correct code

The code -
Roger and Mark are interested in hearing the code

Well...?
They prompt him to tell them what the code is

A-N-G-E-L
The code is spelled out as ANGEL

Yet Robin Hooding isn't the solution
Collins notes that it's not good enough to just give some money from the rich to the poor like Robin Hood

The powers that be must be undermined where they dwell
He suggests that they need to target the people who hold power

In a small, exclusive gourmet institution
The people who hold power are likely to be found in exclusive, high-end establishments

Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele
He suggests opening a restaurant that caters to wealthy customers and overcharging them

Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
Collins suggests that they open a restaurant in Santa Fe

With a private corner banquette in the back
The restaurant should have a private section

We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe
Collins is optimistic that they'll be able to open the restaurant somehow

But you'd miss New York before you could unpack
Roger thinks Mark will miss New York too much to be able to actually make it to Santa Fe

Maureen! Mark! Anyone - help!
Maureen cries out for help from anyone

Maureen?
Mark wants to know what's going on with Maureen

It's Mimi - I can't get her up the stairs
Maureen explains that Mimi is too weak to climb the stairs

No!
Roger panics at the news of Mimi's state

She was huddled in the park in the dark, And she was freezing
Mimi was found huddled in the park, freezing in the cold darkness

And begged to come here
Mimi asked for help and a place to stay

Over here! Oh, God -
Roger calls out for Mimi and is worried

"got a light - I know you - you're shivering..."
Mimi is delirious and confused

She's been living on the street
Joanne explains that Mimi has been living on the streets

We need some heat
The group needs to warm Mimi up

We can buy some wood and something to eat
Mark suggests that they get some food and firewood to help Mimi

I'm afraid she needs more than heat
Collins is worried that Mimi needs more than just warmth

I heard that
Mimi acknowledges Collins' concern

Collins will call for a doctor, honey
Collins is going to call for a doctor to help Mimi

Don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me
Mimi doesn't want others to waste their money on her medical expenses

Hello - 911? I'm on hold
Collins is put on hold by the emergency services when he calls for an ambulance

Cold...cold... would you light my candle
Mimi is still shivering and cold, and asks for someone to light her candle

Yes - we'll oh God - find a candle
Roger and Collins are on it, trying to locate a candle

I should tell you, I should tell you
Mimi starts to say something important

I should tell you
Roger urges Mimi to tell him what's on her mind

I should tell you
Mimi repeats herself, clearly distressed

Benny wasn't any--
Mimi starts to talk about Benny

Shhh-I know
Roger interrupts her, trying to soothe her

I should tell you why I left
Roger urges her to tell him why

It wasn't cause I didn't --
Mimi tries to say she didn't leave because she didn't love him

I know
Roger affirms that he understands

I should tell you
Mimi repeats that she has something else to say

I should tell you
Roger urges her once again

I should tell you
Mimi insists that she needs to tell him something

I love you--
Mimi finally reveals her true feelings for Roger

Who do you think you are?
Roger is caught off guard by Mimi's sudden admission

Leaving me alone with my guitar
He feels betrayed that she left without explanation

Hold on there's something you should hear
Roger wants to share something with Mimi

It isn't much but it took all year
He plays her the song he wrote, which took a year to compose
