Lyrics
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? Wine and beer! The enemy of Avenue A And Mr. Grey What brings the mogul in his own mind To the Life Cafe? I would like to propose a toast To Maureen's noble try *Cheering* It went well? Go to Hell Why did Muffy-- Alison --miss the show? 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 puke 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 Kyrie eleison Yitgadal veyitkadash Here she lies No one knew her worth The late great daughter of Mother Earth On this night that we celebrate the birth In that little town of Bethlehem We raise our gla** You bet your a**, 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 (La vie Bohème) The need to express To communicate (La vie Bohème) To going against the grain Going insane (La vie Bohème) Going mad (La vie Bohème) To loving tension, no pension To more than one dimension (La vie Bohème) To starving for attention Hating convention Hating pretension (La vie Bohème) Not to mention, of course (La vie Bohème) Hating dear old Mom and Dad (La vie Bohème) To riding your bike Midday past the three-piece suits (La vie Bohème) To fruits To no absolute (La vie Bohème) To Absolut To choice To The Village Voice (La vie Bohème) To any pa**ing 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 Ladies Hey, Mister She’s my sister To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries To yoga To yogurt To rice and beans and cheese To leather To latex To curry vindaloo To huevos rancheros And Maya Angelou Emotion Devotion To causing a commotion Creation Vacation Mucho masturbation Compa**ion, to fashion To pa**ion 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, hallucinogens, men Pee-wee Herman German wine, turpentine, Gertrude Stein Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa Carmina Burana To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy Vaclav Havel, The Sex Pistols, 8BC To no shame, never playing the Fame Game To marijuana To sodomy It’s between God and me To S & M Waiter, waiter! La vie Bohème This just in, the mythical land of Bohemia, once believed to be dead, is now showing shocking signs of life! Mimi Marquez takes her lifetime appointment as minister of national security and BDSM And Mark Cohen is your new secretary of state propaganda Oh thank you, thank you. Please keep it going for the revolutionary wild girl, who made tonight possible in the first place. The reigning queen of Bohemia, Miss Maureen Johnson! 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 And Roger, the unofficial bard of Bohemia, will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative love song That doesn’t remind us of "Musetta's Waltz" Angel Dumott Schunard takes her rightful place as queen of all she surveys, and beacon of hope in the darkest of days And first philosopher Tom Collins will recount his exploits as an anarchist, including the tale of the successful reprogramming of the M.I.T. virtual reality equipment to self-destruct, as it broadcasts the words: "Actual Reality - ACT UP - Fight AIDS!" Excuse me, did I do something wrong? I got 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 I should tell you-- Baggage- Wine and beer! -everaler! AZT break You? Me. You? Mimi...
