歌词
ANGEL: Who died?
BENNY: Our Akita
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
MARK
Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes
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
ALL
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
MARK
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
To riding your bike
Midday past the three-piece suits
To fruits to no absolutes
To Absolute to choice
To the Village Voice
To any passing fad
To being an us-for once, instead of a them
ALL
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

COLLINS
In honor of the death of Bohemia an impromtu salon
will commence immediately following dinner
Maureen Johnson, just 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 aint never studied
ROGER
And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary
about his inability
to hold an erection on high holy days
MARK
And Mimi Marquez, clad only in bubble wrap
will perform her famous lawn chair-handcuff dance
to the sounds of iced tea being stirred...
And Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song
(Roger picks up a guiter and plays)
MARK
That doesn't remind us of 'Musetta's Waltz'
COLLINS
Angel Dumott Schunard
will model the latest fall fashions from Paris
while accompanying herself on the 10-gallon plastic pickle tub
ANGEL
And Collins will recount his exploits as an Anarchist
Including the tale of his successful reprogramming
of the MIT virtual reality equipment to self
destruct as it broadcasts the words

Excuse me did I do something wrong?
