Lyrics Champagne - Lin-Manuel Miranda, Karen Olivo

Champagne

So I got you a present
I went downtown to get it
Doing anything tonight?
Cleaning
Done for the day
No way
‘Cuz we got a date
Okay—
Before you board that plane
I owe you a bottle of cold champagne
No…
Yeah, cold champagne
Damn, the bottle’s all sweaty and everything
You went and got this—
Pop the champagne
I don’t know if we have coffee cups
Or plastic cups, I think Sonny has the cups—
Tonight we’re drinking straight from the bottle.
Usnavi?
Yeah?
Daniela told me what you did for me
And it’s honestly the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me
Now, what can I say or do to possibly repay you for your kindness?
How do you get this gold shit off?
Usnavi!
Yeah!
Before we both leave town!
Before the corner changes and the signs are taken down
Let’s walk around the neighborhood and say our goodbyes
Usnavi, are you alright?
I’m fine, I’m tryn’a open this champagne
Y’see the twisty thing is broken
But I’m gonna open this damn champagne!
Lemme see it
No, I got it!
Yo, Usnavi, drop the champagne!
I mean you went to all this trouble to get us a little bubbly—
And it’s gonna be okay
I’m sorry, it’s been a long day
You oughta stay
What?
You can use that money to fix this place
Ha ha, very funny
And it’s not like Sonny’s got role models—
Role models?
Stepping up to the plate—
Yo, what are you talking about?
I’m just saying, I think your vacation can wait—
Vacation?
Vanessa, you’re leaving too—
I’m going down to West Fourth Street;
you can take the A—
What are you trying to say?
You’re leaving the country, and we’re never gonna see you again—
What are you trying to say?
You get everyone addicted to your coffee then off you go
Vanessa, I don’t know why you’re mad at me
I wish I was mad—
I’m just too late
