Voice Mail, or Voice Mail 1, is the second song from the Broadway musical RENT, composed by Jonathan Larson. The song is in the form of a voice mail left by Mark Cohen's mother, calling to wish him well and comfort him after his girlfriend
Lyrics[]
ANSWERING MACHINE:
Speak
MARK'S MOTHER:
That was a very loud beep
I don't even know if this is working
Mark? Mark, are you there?
Are you screening your calls?
It's Mom
We wanted to call and say we love you
And we'll miss you tomorrow
Cindy and the kids are here, send their love
Oh, I hope you like the hot plate
Just don't leave it on, dear
When you leave the house, oh, and Mark,
We're sorry to hear that
Maureen dumped you, I say, "C'est la vie!"
So let her be a lesbian
There are other fishies in the sea
Love, Mom
Trivia[]
- In the RENT Live version, the song ends after Mark's mother sings, "It's Mom".
