Had to edited the song before the site did. If you want to know the words I'll send you the unedited verision of the song

It was time for one of the fun song of the show one next to OUT TONIGHT that I love it's called LA VIE BOHEME. In the audience one of the ushers gave JD a note. "Dimi I need you to leave". "Why?" she asked looking a little shocked. "Criss sent me a note telling me to take you out for a few minutes so obey your Uncle Criss and go to the bathroom or something"he remarked. A little pist but she did what her uncle asked and left. My mother who knew the play sent my sister out too. My sister was ready to protest but she said that she's going to keep Dimi company instead


ANGEL
Who died?

BENNY
Our Akita

BENNY, MARK, ANGEL, COLLINS
Evita

BENNY
They make fun yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your stoop every night?
Bohemia, Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead

(The BOHEMIANS immediately begin to enact a mock funeral, with
MARK delivering the "eulogy")

MARK
Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes

COLLINS & ROGER
Dies irae dies illa
Kyrie eleison
Yitgadal v' yitkadash, etc.

MARK
Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of mother earth
On this night when we celebrate the birth
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass- you bet your ass to-

(MAUREEN flashes hers)

La vie Boheme

ALL
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

MARK
To days of inspiration
Playing hookie, making something out of nothing
The need to express
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane
Going mad
To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike,
Midday past the three- piece suits
To fruits to no absolutes
To Absolute- to choice
To the Village Voice
To any passing fad
To being an us-for once-, instead of a them -

ALL
La vie Boheme
La vie Boheme

Then Criss did a baseball slide through my leg. "Now I understand why he asked Dimi to leave" Lynn said. "I may join her" Dimitra replied.

The lights came up and everyone went out to stretch their legs. In the artium Dimi and my sister were sipping on Diet Coke when JD and my mom walked over. "Well it looks like we didn't miss much" Dimi said as my sister giggled. "I see you guys got drinks". "Yea we put on Uncle Criss's tab at LAX"Dimi replied. "When I turn twenty-one I'm coming here"Alice stated. My mother was ready to throw my sister a reality check when JD's phone rang. "Yea". "What do you think of it?". "Criss you're doing great you and Racheal have a chemistry that everyone including mom sees". "Did you get my message?" Criss asked. "Yes and I understand why and tell Racheal her mom threw her sister out too". "She kind of guessed that. JD can you do me a favor before intermission ends"Criss asked. "Yea sure what,"JD said and Criss told him. "All right" and hung up.

"What does Uncle Criss want you to do?"Dimi asked. "You'll see I'll be right back" and walked off. In the theater Criss was signing some autographes for some fans who stayed back. "Criss you're doing a great job!!"Ashley remarked. "Thanks here you go guys" and they left as JD walked over. "Where's Racheal?". "Using the bathroom so do you have them"Criss replied. "Here you go a dozon long stem dethroned red roses"JD said giving them to him. "Thanks I'll see you in a bit" and Criss went to the back with the flowers.
