Boho Days - Jonathan Larson

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
