Lyrics

A HOMELESS MAN:
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Somewhere else!
Not here
[The HOMELESS MAN exits. ANGEL gets a good beat going on the tub,
but is interrupted by a moan. He starts to drum again and sees
COLLINS limp to downstage-left proscenium.]
ANGEL:
You okay honey?
COLLINS:
I'm afraid so
ANGEL:
They get any money?
COLLINS:
No
Had none to get --
But they purloined my coat --
Well you missed a sleeve! -- Thanks
ANGEL:
Hell, it's Christmas Eve
I'm Angel
COLLINS:
Angel..? Indeed
An angel of the first degree
Friends call me Collins -- Tom Collins
Nice tree ...
ANGEL:
Let's get a band-aid for your knee
I'll change, there's a "Life Support" meeting at nine-thirty
Yes -- this body provides a comfortable home
For the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
COLLINS:
As does mine
ANGEL:
We'll get along fine
Get you a coat, have a bite
Make a night -- I'm flush
COLLINS:
But my friends are waiting --
ANGEL:
You're cute when you blush
The more the merri -- ho ho ho
And I do not take no
[ANGEL and COLLINS walk off stage right.]
