RENT Today For You Lyrics

COLLINS
Gentlemen, our benterfactor on this Christmas Day
Whose charity is only met by talent I must say
A new memeber of the Alphabet City avantgarde
Angel Dumott Schunard!

ANGEL
Today for you, tomorrow for me.

Today for you, tomorrow for me!

COLLINS
And you should hear her beat!

MARK
You earned this on the street?

ANGEL
It was my lucky day today on Avenue A
When a lady in a limousine drove my way
She said "Darling be a dear, haven't slept in a year,
"I need your help to make my neighbor's yappy dog disappear.
"This akita Evita just won't shut up I believe if you play,
"Nonstop that pup will breathe its very last high-strung breath,
"I'm certain that cur will bark itself to death."

Today for you, tomorrow for me! Today for you, tomorrow for me!

We agreed on a fee, a thousand dollar guarantee
Tax free and a bonus if I trim her tree
Now who could foretell that it would go so well?
But sure as I am here that dog is now in doggy hell
After an hour Evita in all the glory
On the window ledge of that twenty-third storey
Like Thelma and Louise did when they got the blues
Swan-dove into the courtyard of the Gracie Mews

Today for you, tomorrow for me! Today for you, tomorrow for me!

Back on the street where I met my sweet
Where he was moanin' and groain' on the cold concrete
The nurse took him home for some mercurochrome
And I dressed his wounds and got him back on his feet

Sing it!

Today for you, tomorrow for me! Today for you, tomorrow for me!
I said, today for you, tomorrow for me! Today for you, tomorrow for me!
