jonathan larson - christmas bells lyrics
five homeless people:
christmas bells are ringing
christmas bells are ringing
christmas bells are ringing
on tv – at saks
squeegieman
honest living, honest living
honest living, honest living
honest living, honest living
all five homeless:
can’t you spare a dime or two
here but for the grace of god go you
you’ll be merry
i’ll be merry
tho merry ain’t in my vocabulary
no sleighbells
no santa claus
no yule log
no tinsel
no holly
no hearth
no
soloist:
‘rudolph the red nosed reindeer’
all five:
rudolph the red nosed reindeer
no room at the holiday inn – oh no
and it’s beginning to snow
vendors:
hats, bats, shoes, booze
mountain bikes, potpourri
leather bags, girlie mags
forty fives, azt

no one’s buying
feel like crying
all:
no room at the holiday inn – oh no
and it’s beginning to snow
vendor #2:

broker who went broke

no pearls, no diamonds
no ‘chestnuts roasting on an open fire’
chestnuts roasting on an open fire
no room at the holiday inn, oh no –
cops:
i’m dreaming of a white christmas
just like the ones i used to know
jingle bells – prison cells

silent night holy night
fall on your knees on night divine
you’ll do some time
fa la la la la
fa la la la la
