Jonathan Larson - Boho Days lyrics

Don't step on Simon, Renaud and Phillipe They're still on the living room floor, asleep Flight was delayed but they got it so cheap In Amsterdam The cat jumped off of the fire escape He's a little shook up but he don't have a scrape Climb up to the roof, let's make a crepe You bring the jam This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo Bohemia Shower's in the kitchen There might be some soap Dishes in the sink Brush your teeth, if you can cope Toilet's in the closet You better hope There's a light bulb in there, bo bo bo Dino called yesterday, the rent is overdue Con Ed and New York telephone are mad too Better screen the calls for a day or two Or cough up your share This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo Bohemia Revolving door roommates Prick up your ears Fourteen people in just four years Ann and Max and Jonathan And Jonathan and Kerri David, Tim, no Tim was just a guest From June to January Margaret, Lisa, David, Susie Stephen, Joe and Sam And Elsa, the bill collector's dream Who is still on the lam Don't forget the neighbors Michelle and Gay More like a family Than a family, hey The cat's, Lucy, Mr. Beebe Bouncer, rest his soul And Finster, who took one look And stayed for days down in that hole This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo This is the life, bo bo, bo bo bo Bohemia The garbage trucks Have turned into limousines Rat infested diners Now are fancy restaurants The gallery opens You know what that means There goes the neighborhood Here come the debutantes But at 508 the halls Are still that dingy brown 508, the walls are cracked or falling down 508, we all know the day it changes Is the day we all should blow this town The time is flying And everything is dying I thought by now I'd have a dog, a kid, and wife The ship is sort of sinking So let's start drinking Before we start thinking Is this a life? Is this a life? Bo bo, bo bo bo Is this a life? No no, no no no Is this a life? Bo bo, bo bo bo Bohemia, Bohemia Bo-he-mi-a, bo, bo, bo, bo
