Collins: gentlemen, our benefactor on this christmas eve whose charity is only matched by talent, i believe a new member of the alpahbet city avant-garde angel dumott schunard!
Angel: today for you-tomorrow for me today for you-tomorrow for me
Collins: and you should hear her beat!
Roger: you earned this on the street?
Angel: it was my lucky day today on avenue a when a lady in a limousine drove my way she said, "dah-ling, be a dear, haven't slept in a year i need your help to make my neighbors yappy dog disappear!"
"this akita-evita just won't shut up! i believe if you play non-stop that pup will breathe its very last high-strung breath i'm certain that cur will bark itself to death"
today for you-tomorrow for me today for you-tomorrow for me
we agreed on a fee- a thousand dollars gurantee, tax-free - and a bonus if i trim her tree now who could fortell that it would go so well but sure as i am here that dog is now in doggy hell
after an hour-evita-in all her glory on the window ledge of that 23rd story like thelma and louise did when they got the blues swan dove into the courtyard of the gracie mews
today for you-tomorrow for me today for you-tomorrow for me
(drum solo)
back on the street where i met my sweet where he was moaning and groaning on the cold concrete the nurse took him home for some mercurochrome and i dressed his wounds and got him back on his feet
sing it! today for you-tomorrow for me today for you-tomorrow for me i said today for you-tomorrow for me today for you-tomorrow for me!
