Rent the Musical - Christmas Bells Lyrics
FIVE HOMELESS PEOPLE
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are singing
On TV - at SAKS
SQUEEGEE MAN
Honest living, honest living
Honest living, honest living
FIVE HOMELESS PEOPLE, SQUEEGEE MAN
Can't you spare a dime or two?
Honest living, honest living
Honest living, honest living
Here but for the grace of God go you
Honest living, honest living
Honest living, honest living
FIVE HOMELESS PEOPLE
You'll be merry
I'll be merry
Though merry ain't in my vocabulary
No sleigh bells
No Santa Claus
No yule log
No tinsel
No holly
No hearth
No-
SOLOIST
“Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”
FIVE HOMELESS PEOPLE
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
No room at the Holiday Inn - oh no
And it's beginning to snow
VENDORS
Hats, Bats, Shoes, Booze
Mountain bikes, Potpourri
Leather bags, Girlie mags
Forty-fives, AZT
VENDOR #1
No one's buying
Feel like crying
ALL
No room at the Holiday Inn - oh no
And it's beginning to snow
COAT VENDOR
How about a fur
In perfect shape
Owned by an MBA from uptown
I got a tweed
Broken in by a greedy
Broker who went broke
And then broke down
COLLINS, ANGEL
You don't have to do this...
Hush your mouth, it's Christmas
I do not deserve you, Angel
Give, give
Wait
All you do
What's on the floor?
Is give
Give me some way
Let's see some more
To show
No, no, no, no-
How you've touched me so
Kiss me, it's beginning to snow
MARK, ROGER
...She said, "Would you light my candle"
And she put on a pout
And she wanted you
To take her out tonight?
Right
She got you out!
She was more than okay
But I pushed her away
It was bad, I got mad
And I had to get her out of my sight
Wait, wait, wait - you said she was sweet
Let's go eat
I'll just get fat
It's the one vice left when you're dead meat
There! That's her!
Maureen?
Mimi!
Woah!
I should go
MARK & ROGER
Hey, it's beginning to snow
COPS
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
MIMI & JUNKIES
Follow the man, follow the man
With his pockets full of the jam
Follow the man, follow the man
Help me out, Daddy, if you can
MIMI & JUNKIES, THE MAN
Got any D, man?
I'm cool
Got any C, man?
I'm cool
Got any X?
Any smack?
Any horse?
Any joogie boogie boy?
Any blow?
ROGER, MIMI
Hey…
Hey...
I just want to say
I'm sorry for the way-
Forget it
I blew up
Can I make it up to you?
How?
Dinner party?
That'll do
THE MAN
Hey lover boy, cutie pie
You steal my client, you die
ROGER
You didn't miss me, you won't miss her
You'll never lack for customers
JUNKIES
I'm willin'
I'm illin'
I gotta get my sickness off
Gotta run, gotta ride
Gotta gun, gotta hide, gotta go
THE MAN
And it's beginning to snow
BENNY (spoken)
Wish me luck, Alison, the protest is on
JUNKIES
Got any C, man?
COAT VENDOR

Got any D, man? Got any C, man?
Got any crack, any X, any jugie boogie?
POLICE OFFICERS
I’m dreaming of a right Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Jingle bells
Prison cells
Fal la la la la
Fa la la la la
You have the right to remain
Silent night
Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh night divine
You’ll do some time
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
HOMELESS AND VENDORS
Christmas bells are swinging
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are singing
In my dreams
Next year
Once you donate you can go
Celebrate in Tuckahoe
You’ll feel cherry
I’ll feel cheery
Tho’ I don’t really know that theory
No bathrobe
No steuben glass
No cappuccino maker
No pearls
No diamonds
No “chestnuts roasting on an open fire”
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
No room at the Holiday Inn, oh no-
COAT VENDOR, ANGEL, BOTH, COLLINS

All you do

Give me some way
To show
How you’ve touched me so
MARK & ROGER, MARK, MIMI, ROGER
Let’s go
To the lot
Maureen’s performing
Who’s Maureen?
His ex
But I am
Over her
Let’s not
Hold hands yet
Is that a warning?
ROGER, MIMI, MARK, ALL THREE
I just need
You just need
He just needs
To take it slow
I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I-
ALL
And it’s beginning to
And it’s beginning to
And it’s beginning to…
MAUREEN (spoken)
Joanne, which way to the stage!?
ALL EXCEPT MAUREEN
Snow!!!
