[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
