Christmas Eve
[Ensemble]
81
[Clark]
In a tiny apartment upon a tiny bed
[Ensemble]
82
[Clark]
Little tiny Della was counting in her head
[Ensemble]
83
[Clark]
Counting all the money she'd saved for months and months
[Ensemble]
84
[Clark]
Hoping that this one thing could work out just this once
[Ensemble]
85
[Clark]
But her hope shrank a bit near the end of the count
[Ensemble]
86
[Clark]
And her heart sank a bit at the final amount
[All]
One dollar and 87 cents
[Della]
There it is
All I've got
A dollar and 87 cents
Even less than I thought
How's that for my financial sense
Each time I count it, the amount's the same
Each time I count it, there's a mounting shame
Each time I count it, it's a losing game
I guess losing is my middlе name
Any other day I would say whatevеr
We always seem to make our own way together
And we've had a lot of money literally never
Still we're doing okay
If it were any other day
But it's
[Jim]
It's Christmas Eve
[Della]
There he is
[Jim]
Christmas Eve
[Della]
All I've got
[Jim]
Our first ever together
[Della]
He's the best part of my life
[Jim]
I can't believe
[Della]
But a gift
[Jim]
This Christmas Eve
[Della]
I have not
[Jim]
You're more beautiful than ever
[Della]
How's that for being a loving wife
[Jim]
Good morning Della
Did you sleep all right?
[Della]
Not really I was kind of up all night
[Jim]
What's wrong my darling, are you sick?
[Della]
Not quite
I was probably just excited for tonight
[Jim]
Wish I could stay but I gotta work
[Della]
It's okay Jim
[Jim]
I can't be late my boss is a jerk
[Della]
It's really okay Jim
[Jim]
No seriously, he'd go like berserk
[Della]
And I hate him
But I'm really alright
[Jim]
Well then I'll see you tonight
For Christmas Eve
[Della]
There it is
[Jim]
Christmas Eve
[Della]
That's my luck
[Jim]
The best Christmas Eve ever
[Della & Ensemble]
A dollar and 87 cents
[Jim]
I hate to leave
[Della]
And no gift
[Jim]
On Christmas Eve
[Della]
Can be bought
[Jim]
But we'll soon be back together
[Della & Ensemble]
With a dollar and 87 cents
[Jim]
Christmas Eve
[Della]
It's not about the money
[Ensemble]
It's all about the money
[Jim]
Christmas Eve
[Della]
It's the things that money can't buy
[Ensemble]
A dollar and 87 cents
[Jim]
Christmas Eve
[Della]
But everything costs money
[Ensemble]
Everything is money
[Jim]
Christmas Eve
[Della]
Like a gift for a really great guy
[Ensemble]
A dollar and 87 cents
[Jim]
Christmas Eve
[Della]
But what can you buy
[Ensemble]
What can you buy
[Jim]
Della goodbye
[Della & Ensemble]
With
One dollar and 87 cents
