Today 4 U

[COLLINS]

Gentlemen, our benefactor on this Christmas Day

Whose charity is only matched by talent, I must say

A new member of the Alphabet City avant-garde

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, "Dahling -- 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 non-stop 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 her glory

On the window ledge of that 23rd story

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



Then back to the street where I met my sweet

Where he was moaning and groaning 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
