I'm giving up my vices
I'm going back- Back to school
Eviction or not this weeks been so hott
But long as I got you I know I'll be cool
I couldn't crack the love code dear
'Till you made the lock on my heart explode!
It's gonna be a Happy New Year
A Happy New Year
Mark
Cost is clear

I mean what does one wear thats aprapote for a party
Thats also a crime
Maureen

Maureen

Roger
Bolted plywood padlocked with a chain
A total dead end
Maureen
Just like my ex girlfriend
Honey I know your there
Please pick up the phone
Are you okay?
It's not funny
It's not fair
How can I atone?
Are you okay?
I lose control but I can learn to behave
Give me one more chance
Let me be your slave
I'll kiss your Doc Martans
Let me kiss your Doc Martans!
Your every wish I will obey
(Joanne enters)
Joanne
That might be okay
Down girl

Technically your scwatters
Theres hope

Joanne
To the fire escape
Mark

Mark and Joanne

Maureen
I can't take them as chums
Joanne
Start hoisting, Wench!
Roger
I think I should be laughing
Yet I forget- Forget how to begin
I'm feeling something inside and yet I still can't decide
If I should hide or made a wide open grin
Last week I wanted just to dissapear
My life was dust
But now it just may be a Happy New Year
A Happy New Year

And a brownie till some brat got scared

On the phone machines red light
Once the boho boys are gone
The power mysteriously comes on
