Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
No room at the Holiday Inn - Again
Well, maybe next year -- or -- when
December 24th, Ten P.M. Eastern Standard Time
I can't believe a year went by so fast
Time to see - What we have - Time to see
With the Fender guitar he just got out of hock
That took him away and back
If he could just find Mimi
I tried - You know I tried
Pulling Benny out of the East Village location
Maybe we won't screen it tonight
I wonder how he found out about Mimi?
Maybe a little bird told her.
I had a little hunch that you could use a little flow
I rewired the ATM at the Food Emporium
To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code
Yet Robin Hooding isn't the solution
The powers that be must be undermined
Where they dwell in a small, exclusive gourmet institution
Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele
Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
With a private corner banquette in the back
We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe
But you'd miss New York before you could unpack
It's Mimi - I can't get her up the stairs
She was huddled in the park in the dark
"Got a light - I know you - You're shivering. . ."
She's been living on the street
We can buy some wood and something to eat
I'm afraid she needs more than heat
Collins will call for a doctor honey
Don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me
Cold. . .Cold. . .Would you light my candle
Yes - we'll oh God - Find a candle
I should tell you why I left
It wasn't cause I didn't --
Who do you think you are?
Leaving me alone with my guitar
Hold on there's something you should hear
It isn't much but it took all year
