If you are a fan of Rent the Musical and would like to know the lyrics to the first two songs in this musical, you can check them out for yourself below:

MARK

December 24th, Nine PM

Eastern Standard Time

From here on in

I shoot without a script

See if anything comes of it

Instead of my old shit

First shot — Roger

Tuning the Fender guitar

He hasn’t played in a year

ROGER

This won’t tune

MARK

So we hear

He’s just coming back

From half a year of withdrawal

ROGER

Are you talking to me?

MARK

Not at all

Are you ready? Hold that focus — steady

Tell the folks at home what you’re doing Roger …

ROGER

I’m writing one great song –

MARK

The phone rings.

ROGER

Saved!

MARK

We screen

Zoom in on the answering machine!

(An actor places a telephone on a chair and we see MARK’S MOM in a special light.)

VOICE MAIL #1

ROGER & MARK’S OUTGOING MESSAGE

“Speak” … (“Beeeep!”)

MOM

That was a very loud beep

I don’t even know if this is working

Mark — Mark — are you there

Are you screening your calls –

It’s mom

We wanted to call and say we love you

And we’ll miss you tomorrow

Cindy and the kids are here — send their love

Oh, I hope you like the hot plate

Just don’t leave it on, dear

When you leave the house

Oh, and Mark

We’re sorry to hear that Maureen dumped you

I say c’est la vie

So let her be a lesbian…

There are other fishies in the sea

… Love Mom!
