No please no

Not tonight please no

Mister can't you go

Not tonight can't have a scene

What

Go please go you hello sir

I said no

Important customer

What am I just a blur

You sit all night you never buy

That's a lie that's a lie

I had a tea the other day

You couldn't pay

Oh yeah

Benjamin coffin III here

Oh no

Wine and beer

The enemy of avenue A

We'll stay

Oy vey

What brings the mogul in his own mind

To the life cafe

I would like to propose a toast

To Maureen's noble try

It went well

Go to hell

Was the yuppie scum stomped

Not counting the homeless

How many tickets weren't comped

What a muffin'

Alison

Theres the sare

There was a death in the family

If you must know

Who died

Our Akita

Evita

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

Dearly beloved

We gather here to say our goodbyes

Dies irae dies illa

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 a*s to

La vie Bohème

La vie Bohème

La vie Bohème

La vie Bohème

La vie Bohème

To days of inspiration

Playing hooky

Making something out of nothing

The need to express

To communicate

To going against the grain

Going insane

Going mad

To loving tension no pension

To more than one dimension

To starving for attention

Hating convention

Hating pretension

Not to mention of course

Hating dear old mom and dad

To riding your bike

Midday past the three-piece suits

To fruits

To no absolutes

To absolut

To choice

To the village voice

To any passing fad

To being an us for once

Instead of a them

La vie Bohème

La vie Bohème

Is the equipment in a pyramid

It is Maureen

The mixer doesn't have a case

Don't give me that face

Ahem

Hey Mister

She's my sister

So that's five miso soup

Four seaw**d salad

Three soy burger dinner

Two tofu dog platter

And one pasta with meatless balls

Ew

It tastes the same

If you close your eyes

And thirteen orders of fries

Is that it here

Wine and beer

To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries

To yoga to yogurt to rice and beans and cheese

To leather to dildos to curry vindaloo

To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou

Emotion devotion to causing a commotion

Creation vacation

Mucho masturbation

Compassion to fashion to passion

When it's new

To Sontag

To Sondheim

To anything taboo

Ginsberg Dylan Cunningham and Cage

Lenny Bruce

Langston Hughes

To the stage

To Uta

To Buddha

Pablo Neruda too

Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow

To blow off Auntie 'em

La vie Bohème

And wipe the speakers off before you pack

Yes Maureen

Well hurry back

Sisters

We're close

Brothers

Bisexuals trisexuals homo sapiens

Carcinogens h***********s men

Pee-wee Herman

German wine turpentine Gertrude Stein

Antonioni Bertolucci Kurosawa

Carmina Burana

To apathy to entropy to empathy e*****y

Vaclav Havel the s*x pistols 8BC

To no shame never playing the fame game

To m*******a

To sodomy

It's between God and me

To SM

Waiter waiter waiter

La vie Bohème

In honor of the death of Bohemia an

Impromtu salon will commence immediately

Following dinner Mimi Marquez clad only

In bubble wrap will perform her famous lawn

Chair-handcuff dance to

The sounds of iced tea being stirred

And Mark Cohen will preview his new

Documentary about his inability to hold

An erection on high holy days

Maureen Johnson back from her spectacular

One-night engagement at the eleventh street

Lot will sing Native American tribal chants

Backwards through her vocoder while accompanying

Herself on the electric

Cello which she has never studied

Your new boyfriend doesn't know about us

There's nothing to know

Don't you think that we should discuss

It was three months ago

He doesn't act like he's with you

We're taking it slow

Where is he now

He's were

Uh huh

Where'd he go

And Roger will attempt to write

A bittersweet evocative song

That doesn't remind us of Musetta's Waltz

Angel Dumott Schunard will model the

Latest fall fashions from Paris while

Accompanying herself on the

10 gallon plastic pickle tub

And collins for will recount his exploits as

Anarchist including the tale of the successful

Reprogramming of the MIT virtual

Reality equipment to self-destruct

As it broadcasts the words

Acro riyali

At the fiting

Check

Excuse me did I do something wrong

I get invited then ignored all night long

I've been trying I'm not lying

No one's perfect I've got baggage

Life's too short babe time is flying

I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine

I should tell you

I've got baggage too

Show tell you

Baggage why and bear

AZT break

You

Me you

Mimi
