La Vie Boheme

RESTAURANT MAN

No please no

Not tonight please no

Mister can't you go

Not tonight can't have a scene



ROGER

What?



RESTAURANT MAN

Go, please go;

You - Hello, sir

I said, "No"

Important customer



MARK

What am I just a blur?



RESTAURANT MAN

You sit all night you never buy



MARK

That's a lie that's a lie

I had a tea the other day



RESTAURANT MAN

You couldn't pay



MARK

Oh yeah



COLLINS

Benjamin Coffin III - here?



RESTAURANT MAN

Oh no



ALL

Wine and beer!



MAUREEN

The enemy of Avenue A

We'll stay



RESTAURANT MAN

Oy vey!



COLLINS

What brings the mogul in his own mind to the Life Cafe?



BENNY

I would like to propose a toast

To Maureen's noble try

It went well



MAUREEN

Go to hell



BENNY

Was the yuppie scum stomped

Not counting the homeless

How many tickets weren't comped



ROGER

Why did Muffy-



BENNY

Alison



ROGER

Miss the show?



BENNY

There was a death in the family

If you must know



ANGEL

Who died?



BENNY

Our Akita



BENNY, MARK, ANGEL, COLLINS

Evita



BENNY

Mimi I'm surprised

A bright and charming girl like you

Hangs out with these slackers

(Who don't adhere to deals)

They make fun yet I'm the one

Attempting to do some good

Or do you really want a neighborhood

Where people piss on your stoop every night?

Bohemia, Bohemia's

A fallacy in your head

This is Calcutta

Bohemia is dead



MARK

Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes



COLLINS & ROGER

Dies irae dies illa

Kyrie eleison

Yitgadal v' yitkadash, etc.



MARK

Here she lies

No one knew her worth

The late great daughter of mother earth

On this night when we celebrate the birth

In that little town of Bethlehem

We raise our glass- you bet your ass to-

La vie Boheme



ALL

La vie Boheme

La vie Boheme

La vie Boheme

La vie Boheme



MARK

To days of inspiration

Playing hookie, making something out of nothing

The need to express

To communicate,

To going against the grain,

Going insane

Going mad



To loving ten
