The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
BENNY
Joy to the world--
Hey, you bum --
Yeah, you, move over
Get your ass off that Range Rover
MARK
That attitude toward the homeless is just
What Maureen is protesting tonight.
BENNY
Maureen is protesting
Losing her performance space
Not my attitude
ROGER
What happened to Benny
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursued?
BENNY
The owner of that lot next door
Has a right to do with it as he pleases
COLLINS
Happy birthday, Jesus!
BENNY
The rent
MARK
You're wasting your time
ROGER
We're broke
MARK
And you broke your word
This is absurd
BENNY
There is one way you won't have to pay
ROGER
I knew it!
BENNY
Next door
The home of Cyberarts, you see
And now that the block is re-zoned
Our dream can become a reality
You'll see boys
You'll see boys
A state of the art, digital, virtual interactive studio
I'll forego your rent and on paper guarantee
That you can stay here for free
If you do me one small favor
MARK
What?
BENNY
Convince Maureen to cancel her protest
MARK
Why not just get an injunction or call the cops
BENNY
I did and they're on stand by
But my investors would rather
I handle this quietly
ROGER
You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city
Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV!
BENNY
You want to produce films and write songs?
You need somewhere to do it!
It's what we used to dream about
Think twice before you pooh-pooh it
You'll see boys
You'll see boys
You'll see
The beauty of a studio
That lets us do our work and get paid
With condos on the top
Whose rent keeps open our shop
Just stop the protest
And you'll have it made
You'll see -- or you'll pack
ANGEL
That boy could use some prozac
ROGER
Or heavy drugs
MARK
Or group hugs
COLLINS
Which reminds me --
We have a detour to make tonight
Anyone who wants to can come along
ANGEL
Life support's a group for people coping with life
You don't have to stay too long
MARK
First I've got a protest to save
ANGEL
Roger?
ROGER
I'm not much company you'll find
MARK
Behave!
ANGEL
He'll catch up later
He's just go other things on his mind
You'll see boys
MARK AND COLLINS
We'll see boys
ROGER
Let it be boys!
COLLINS
I like boys
ANGEL
Boys like me
ALL
We'll see.
