Rent Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
You Okay Honey
(The street in front of the pay phone. A HOMELESS MAN appears above
on the right. Across the stage, ANGEL DUMOTT SCHUNARD is seated
on the Christmas tree sculpture, with a plastic pickle tub balanced like a
drum between his knees)
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
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.)
