Happy New Year Songtext
von Jonathan Larson

I think we need an agent!
We? That′s selling out
But it's nice to dream!
Yeah! It′s network TV
And it's all thanks to me!
Somehow I think I smell the whiff of a scheme!
Me too

We could plan another protest
We? This time you can shoot from the start
You'll direct, starring me!
Five, four, three
Open sesame! Happy new year!
Happy new year!
Happy new

I see that you′ve beaten me to the punch
How did you know we′d be here? I had a hunch
You're not mad? I′m here to end this war
It's a shame you went and destroyed the door
Why all of a sudden the big about face?


The credit is yours, you made a good case
What case?
Mimi came to see me and she had much to say
That′s not how you put it at all yesterday!

I couldn't stop thinking about the whole mess!
Mark, you′ll want to get this on film (I guess)
I regret the unlucky circumstances of the last seven days
Circumstance? You padlocked our door!

And it's with great pleasure on behalf of cyber arts
That I hand you this key
Golf claps
I had no juice in my battery
Reshoot!
I see this is a photo opportunity

The benevolent god
Ushers the poor artists back to their flat
Were you planning to take down the barbed wire from the lot too?

And let those people back in?
Anything but that
Mimi, since you were so seductive
You came onto me!
Persuade him not to be so counterproductive
Liar!


Why not tell them what you wore to my place?
I was on my way to work
Black leather and lace
My desk was a mess
I think I'm still sore
′Cause I kicked him and told him I wasn′t his whore

Does your boyfriend know who your last boyfriend was?
I'm not her boyfriend, I don′t care what she does!
People, is this any way to start a new year, have compassion
Benny just lost his cat

My dog, but I appreciate that
My cat had a fall, and I went through hell
It's like losing a-, wait, how did you know that she fell?
Champagne?
Don′t mind if I do, to dogs
No, Benny, to you!

Let's make a resolution
I′ll drink to that
Let's always stay friends
Though we may have our disputes
Family tree's got deep roots
Friendship is thicker than blood

That depends
Depends on trust
Depends on true devotion
Depends on love
Depends on not denying emotion!
Perhaps

It′s gonna be a happy new year!
I guess
It′s gonna be a happy new year!
You're right
It′s gonna be a happy new year!
Yeah

I'm sorry
Coming?
In a minute
I′m fine, go

Well, well, well, what have we here?
It's gonna be a happy new year
