Finale Lyrics - Elf: The Musical - Original Broadway Cast

ALL SEVEN HOMELESS 

Christmas bells are ringing 

Christmas bells are ringing 

Christmas bells are ringing 

How time flies 

When compassion dies 

No stockings 

No candy canes 

No gingerbread 

No safety net 

No loose change 

No change no 

ONE HOMELESS MAN 

"Santy Claus is coming" 

ALL 

Santy Claus ain't coming 

No room at the Holiday Inn - Again 

Well, maybe next year -- or -- when 

MARK 

December 24th, Ten P.M. Eastern Standard Time 

I can't believe a year went by so fast 

Time to see - What we have - Time to see 

Turn the projector on 

First shot Roger 

With the Fender guitar he just got out of hock 

When he sold the car 

That took him away and back 

ROGER 

I found my song 

MARK 

He found his song 

If he could just find Mimi 

ROGER 

I tried - You know I tried 

MARK 

Fade in on Mark 

Who's still in the dark 

ROGER 

But he's got great footage 

MARK 

Which he's cut together 

ROGER 

To screen tonight 

MARK 

In honor of Benny's wife 

ROGER 

Muffy 

MARK 

Alison 

Pulling Benny out of the East Village location 

ROGER 

Then again. 

Maybe we won't screen it tonight 

MARK 

I wonder how he found out about Mimi? 

ROGER 

Maybe a little bird told her. 

COLLINS 

Or an angel 

I had a little hunch that you could use a little flow 

ROGER 

Tutoring again? 

COLLINS 

Negative 

MARK 

Back at N.Y.U.? 

COLLINS 

No, no, no 

I rewired the ATM at the Food Emporium 

To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code 

ROGER & MARK 

The code - 

Well. . .? 

COLLINS 

A-N-G-E-L 

Yet Robin Hooding isn't the solution 

The powers that be must be undermined 

Where they dwell in a small, exclusive gourmet institution 

Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele 

ALL THREE 

Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe 

With a private corner banquette in the back 

COLLINS 

We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe 

ROGER 

But you'd miss New York before you could unpack 

ALL 

Ohh-- 

MAUREEN 

Mark! 

Roger! 

Anyone - Help! 

MARK 

Maureen? 

MAUREEN 

It's Mimi - I can't get her up the stairs 

ROGER 

No! 

MAUREEN 

She was huddled in the park in the dark 

And she was freezing 

And begged to come here 

ROGER 

Over here 

Oh, God - 

MIMI 

"Got a light - I know you - You're shivering. . ." 

JOANNE 

She's been living on the street 

ROGER 

We need some heat 

MIMI 

I'm shivering 

MARK 

We can buy some wood and something to eat 

COLLINS 

I'm afraid she needs more than heat 

MIMI 

I heard that 

MAUREED 

Collins will call for a doctor honey 

MIMI 

Don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me 

COLLINS 

Hello - 911? 

I'm on hold 

MIMI 

Cold. . .Cold. . .Would you light my candle 

ROGER 

Yes - we'll oh God - Find a candle 

MIMI 

I should tell you 

I should tell you 

ROGER 

I should tell you 

I should tell you 

MIMI 

I should tell you 

Benny wasn't any-- 

ROGER 

Shhh - I know 

I should tell you why I left 

It wasn't cause I didn't -- 

MIMI 

I know 

I should tell you 

ROGER 

I should tell you 

MIMI 

I should tell you 

I love you-- 

ROGER 

Who do you think you are? 

Leaving me alone with my guitar 

Hold on there's something you should hear 

It isn't much but it took all year
