(Donnie rocking out to Noel's lament while the others sing along as the background singers with him. It's quite literally just slightly edited lyrics from Noel's lament and a few actions)

(Donnie sets up mic)

(Clears throat)

(Informative)
In my life, I was Donatello Hamato, who worked at Taco Bell in Uranium City, Saskatchewan. . . But in my dreams I played a different role. I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France!

(sung)
A hooker with a heart of black charcoal
I write poems to burn by firelight
Drink champagne and guzzle gin
Good girls call me "the Town Bicycle"
Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin
Oh, Claude, my pimp, knows never mess with me
Last prick did that faded quick to black
I have no idea where to find him, officers
But if you do, please mention that I'd
Like to have returned the pretty knife
that I stuck- Ten. Times. In. His. Back!

(Light inhale)
(Sharp exhale)

For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night-
My life's one never-ending carnival

[Donnie and family]
A world of Boozy-Floozy flashing light—

[Donnie]
I want to be that fucked up girl
He said, "I think I am in love with you"
I've heard that lie a million times before
Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy
Take love when you can, when you're a whore
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night

(Small spin)

My life's one never-ending carnival
A world of Boozy-Floozy flashing light
I want to be that fucked up girl
So now I sell my love for opium
In some rat-infested Chinese dive
At night I burn myself with cigarettes
Just to somehow prove I'm still alive!

. . .

Eight months later I catch Typhoid Flu. . . . .
Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day
Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to me-

[Splinter, as priest, in a French accent]
"My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?"

[Donnie, as Monique, in French accent]
"Oui, tell him that, like him, I choose to burn out! Rather than fade away. . ."

For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never-ending carnival
A world of boozy-floozy flashing light-
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never-ending carnival

[Donnie and family]
A world of boozy-floozy flashing light—

[Donnie]
I want to be that fucked up girl
I wanna be that fucked up—
(ad-libbing, riffing)
Girl. . .

[April, Leo, Mikey, Casey JR]
(Cheering)
Broken heart, a flask of gin!
Tattooed with a safety pin!
Teeth all stained with nicotine!
Running nylons, shattered dreams!
Super crusty, holy terror!
Wild eyes and Black Mascara—

[Donnie]
If I could have just one dream!

[Mikey, Leo, Casey JR]
If he could have just one dream. . . !

[Donnie]
I'd be that fucked up girl!

[Everyone]
