Lyrics:[]
Dj:
Who died?
Chuck:
Our Akita
Chuck, Daniel, Dj and Teddy:
Evita
Chuck:
They make fun, yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your stoop every night?
Bohemia, Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead
Daniel:
Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes
Teddy and Charlie:
Dies irae, dies illa
Kyrie eleison
Yitgadal v' yitkadash, etc.
Daniel:
Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of mother earth
On this night when we celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass
you bet your ass to...
La vie Boheme
New Directions and Acoustic Rush:
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
Daniel:
To days of inspiration
Playing hookie, making something out of nothing
The need to express...
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane
Going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old mom and dad
New Directions and Acoustic Rush:
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
Austynn:
Ahhemm
Abi:
Hey Mister...
She's my sister
Mark:
So that's five miso soup, four seaweed salad
Three soy burger dinner, two tofu dog platter
And one pasta with meatless balls
Conner:
Ugh
Teddy:
It tastes the same
Jade:
If you close your eyes
Mark:
And thirteen orders of fries
Is that it here?
New Directions and Acoustic Rush:
Wine and beer!
Jade and Dj:
To hand-crafted beers made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos, to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou
Abi and Teddy:
Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation
Abi and Teddy:
Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new
Teddy:
To Sontag
Dj:
To Sondheim
Teddy and Charlie:
Ginsberg, Dylan, Cunningham and Cage
Teddy:
Lenny Bruce
Charlie:
Langston Hughes
Abi:
To the stage
Lily:
To Uta
Marla:
To Buddha
Thea:
Pablo Neruda, too
Daniel and Jade:
Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
To blow off Auntie Em
New Directions and Acoustic Rush:
La vie Boheme
Conner:
Sisters?
Abi and Caro:
We're close
Dj, Teddy, Abi, Daniel and Conner:
Brothers!
New Directions and Acoustic Rush:
To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy
Vaclav Havel
The Sex Pistols, 8BC,
To no shame, never playing the Fame Game
La vie Boheme
Teddy:
In honor of the death of Bohemia an impromptu salon will commence immediately following dinner...
Mimi Marquez, clad only in bubble wrap, will perform her famous lawn chair-handcuff dance to the sounds of iced tea being stirred.
Charlie:
Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary about his inability to hold an erection on high holy days.
Daniel:
Maureen Johnson, back from her spectacular one-night engagement at the eleventh street lot,
Will sing native american tribal chants backwards through her vocoder,
While accompanying herself on the electric cello...
Which she has never studied.
Jade:
Excuse me...
Did I do something wrong?
I get invited, then ignored...
All night long
Charlie:
I've been trying... I'm not lying
No one's perfect
I've got baggage
Jade:
Life's too short, babe, time is flying
I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine
Charlie:
I should tell, you...
Jade:
I've got baggage too
Charlie:
I should tell you...
Jade:
I got baggage, too
Charlie:
I should tell you...
Charlie and Jade:
Baggage
wine...
New Directions and Acoustic Rush:
And beer!
