Lyrics[]

HOMELESS MAN:
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Somewhere else!
Not here

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 merry, ho ho ho
And I do not take no
