Lyrics[]

Mark:

Tell the folks at home what you're doing, Roger...

Roger:

I'm writing one great song.

Mark:

The phone rings!

Roger:

Yes!

Mark:

We screen...

Mark & Roger:

Speeeeak!

Collins:

Chesnuts roasting...

Mark and Roger:

Collins!

Collins:

I'm downstairs.

Mark:

Hey!

Collins:

Roger picked up the phone?

Mark:

No, it's me!

Collins:

Throw down the key!

Mark:

A wild night is now preordained!

Collins:

...I may be detained (Bang Bang)

Mark:

What does he mean... (Phone rings) What do you mean detained?!

Benny:

Ho Ho Ho!

Mark and Roger:

Benny! [aside] Sh*t!

Benny:

Dudes, I'm on my way.

Mark and Roger:

Great! [aside] F*ck!

Benny:

I need the rent.

Mark:

What rent?

Benny:

Last year's rent, which I let slide.

Mark:

Let slide? You said we were golden!

Roger:

When you bought the building!

Mark:

When we were roomates!

Roger:

Remember, you lived here?

Benny:

How could I forget. You, me, Collins and Mauren...how is the drama queen?

Mark:

She's preforming tonight.

Benny:

I know. Still her production manager?

Mark:

Two days ago, I was bumped.

Benny:

You still dating her?

Mark:

Last month I was dumped.

Roger:

She's in love!

Benny:

She got a new man?

Mark:

Well, no...

Benny:

What's his name?

Mark and Roger:

...Joanne.

Benny:

Rent my amigos is due, or I will have to evict you. Be there in a few.

(Musetta's Waltz riff)

Mark: The power blows!
