<br>

Bobby<br>

Free!<br>

People are free!<br>

How can a fee<br>

Enslave us?<br>

See<br>

How we can be<br>

Free from the chains<br>

He gave us!<br>

<br>

We're suffering now<br>

Such lives of sorrow<br>

Don't give us tomorrow<br>

Just give us today!<br>

<br>

The Poor<br>

Free!<br>

People are free!<br>

How can a fee<br>

Enslave us?<br>

See<br>

How we can be<br>

Free from the chains<br>

He gave us!<br>

<br>

We're suffering now<br>

Such lives of sorrow<br>

Don't give us tomorrow<br>

Just give us today!<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

From ev'ry hill<br>

Ev'ry steeple<br>

Ring out the anthem<br>

Of the people<br>

Making a new way<br>

Breaking the clouds of gray<br>

To sing of today!<br>

<br>

Bobby and The Poor<br>

Sing of today!<br>

Sing of today<br>

Sing today<br>

Sing today<br>

Sing today<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

A little brutality is exactly what these people need. Officer Lockstock!<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

Daddy, wait. He only wants the people to be happy.<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

Happy you say?! Happy?!<br>

<br>

So you want happy, Mister Strong?<br>

Did you say happy, Mister Strong?<br>

If they pee today I'm sure they'll be<br>

As happy as a pup<br>

With no rules and no more fees to pay<br>

Things would be looking up!<br>

But too bad the water that we share<br>

Could fit inside a cup!<br>

What of tomorrow, Mister Strong?<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

But what of today?!<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

But what of tomorrow, Mister Strong?!<br>

Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong!<br>

Our resources are as fragile<br>

As a newborn baby's skull<br>

With your actions<br>

You would gut the child<br>

And leave a lifeless hull!<br>

Could it be you're so short-sighted<br>

So insensitive, so dull?<br>

Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong!<br>

<br>

The Poor<br>

But what of today?!<br>

<br>

Cladwell and Co.<br>

You are wrong, Mister Strong<br>

You and your socialistic throng<br>

If the people pee for free<br>

They'll push the system to the brink<br>

If today there's spillage<br>

Tell us how tomorrow will not stink!<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

If it's you and me, now, Mister Strong<br>

Which one of us will blink?<br>

I say it's you, Mister Strong<br>

For on the subject of tomorrow<br>

<br>

Cladwell and Co.<br>

You are wrong!<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

Oh, Bobby, why didn't you tell me you were going to start a revolution?<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

Maybe for the same reason you didn't tell me you were a Cladwell. So you<br>

can join us or you can stand aside.<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

Bobby, think!<br>

You're standing on the brink!<br>

You'll be arrested soon<br>

Perhaps as soon as noon<br>

<br>

And I could never bear<br>

To see you taken where<br>

The guilty pee-ers meet<br>

The toilet judgement seat!<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

You said<br>

To follow your heart<br>

Here's where my heart leads<br>

Now I'll do my part<br>

To banish all needs<br>

<br>

You made me to see<br>

Fantastic'lly clear<br>

When people pee free<br>

We've nothing to fear<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

Give up now!<br>

We'll find a way<br>

Somehow<br>

To help the people pee<br>

<br>

Without a hefty fee<br>

But if you must persist<br>

Being an anarchist<br>

My father's men will see<br>

You're sent away from me!<br>

You'll get Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Bobby, you'll get Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Off you'll go to Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Urinetown!<br>

Bobby<br>

Your words<br>

Were like seeds<br>

<br>

At first they<br>

Seemed mild<br>

<br>

They grew into deeds<br>

<br>

This riot's our child<br>

<br>

Sing of today, not tomorrow!<br>

<br>

End their lives of sorrow!<br>

<br>

Today!<br>

<br>

Today!<br>

<br>

Sing of today!<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

You've picked a fight you can't win, today, Mr. Strong! Your rabble is<br>

no match for my men.<br>

<br>

Little Sally<br>

You can punish our bodies, Mr. Cladwell, but you can never punish our<br>

spirits!<br>

<br>

Soupy Sue<br>

Punish our bodies?!<br>

<br>

Little Becky Two Shoes<br>

I never agreed to any punishment of my body!<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

Oh, punishment is all you'll ever know!<br>

<br>

The Poor<br>

Bobby, help!<br>

He'll turn our brains to kelp!<br>

No matter what we do<br>

We're in a real bad stew!<br>

Those cops look awful mean<br>

Like none we've ever seen!<br>

When Cladwell gives the cue<br>

Our revolution's through! Cladwell and UGC Staff<br>

You<br>

Are wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

You<br>

Are wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

Very<br>

Wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

You<br>

Are wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

Last night your words<br>

Were like seeds<br>

At first<br>

They seemed mild<br>

They grew<br>

Into deeds<br>

This riot's<br>

Our child! The Poor<br>

Bobby, please!<br>

There's no way to appease<br>

A raging maniac<br>

A real insaniac<br>

He's like a speeding train<br>

Caught in a hurricane<br>

But he is in control<br>

And he is on a roll! Cladwell and UGC Staff<br>

You<br>

Are wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

You<br>

Are wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

Very<br>

Wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

You<br>

Are wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

<br>

<br>

The child<br>

Is on fire<br>

<br>

<br>

He's hot<br>

As the sun<br>

<br>

<br>

He'll burn<br>

Like a pyre<br>

<br>

<br>

'Til freedom<br>

Is won! Hope<br>

<br>

Oh<br>

Bobby!<br>

<br>

<br>

No,<br>

Bobby!<br>

<br>

<br>

Oh<br>

Bobby!<br>

<br>

<br>

No,<br>

Bobby!<br>

<br>

The Poor<br>

Cladwell's<br>

Nuts<br>

With no if's, and's<br>

Or but's!<br>

Yes, he's a real<br>

Live loon!<br>

A freaking<br>

Looney tune!<br>

And when he's<br>

Done with us<br>

He'll put us on a<br>

Bus<br>

Bound for that<br>

Unknown place<br>

That we all<br>

All dread to face! Cladwell and UGC Staff<br>

<br>

You<br>

Are wrong<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

<br>

You<br>

Are wrong<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

<br>

Very<br>

Wrong<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

<br>

You<br>

Are wrong<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

<br>

All but Bobby<br>

You'll/We'll get<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Bobby, you'll/we'll get<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Off you'll/we'll go to<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Urinetown!<br>

Bobby<br>

<br>

Sing of today<br>

Not tomorrow!<br>

<br>

End their lives<br>

Of sorrow!<br>

<br>

Today!<br>

<br>

Today!<br>

<br>

Sing of today!<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

So what'll it be, Bobby?<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

Looks like we're in a real bad spot, doesn't it. I suppose we should leave.<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

Oh, Bobby, they'll never let you leave now.<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

Not without you they won't. Which is why you're coming with us.<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

But how can I come with you and not fight against my father,<br>

unless...unless...oh dear God, Bobby, no!<br>

<br>

Bobby and Poor<br>

From ev'ry<br>

Hill<br>

Ev'ry steeple<br>

<br>

Ring out the anthem<br>

<br>

Of the people<br>

Making a new way<br>

<br>

Breaking the<br>

Clouds of gray<br>

<br>

To sing of today!<br>

<br>

<br>

Sing of today!<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

Sing of today!<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

Sing today!<br>

<br>

Sing today!<br>

<br>

sing today! Cladwell and Co.<br>

<br>

Wrong, Mr. Strong!<br>

Think of tomorrow<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

Our resources as as<br>

Fragile as a<br>

Newborn baby's skull!<br>

With your<br>

Actions you would<br>

Leave a lifeless hull!<br>

A lifeless hull<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

You're very dull<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

Disperse your throng<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

Disperse your throng<br>

And end your song<br>

And end your song<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

You're wrong,<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

You're wrong,<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

You're wrong,<br>

Mr. Strong!<br>

You're wrong!<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

Keep your men back, Cladwell! We've got your daughter and we're not<br>

letting her go!<br>

<br>

Lockstock<br>

Boss, what do we do?!<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

Seize them!<br>

<br>

Penny<br>

No!<br>

<br>

Cladwell<br>

Don't let them get away!<br>

<br>

Hope<br>

Help me!<br>

<br>

Penny<br>

Help her!<br>

<br>

Bobby<br>

Now run, run everybody! Run for your lives! Run!<br>

<br>

Women<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Urinetown!<br>

Urinetown!<br>

Urinetown!<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Urine - !<br>

Urinetown!<br>

<br>

Lockstock<br>

Well, that's it for Act One.<br>

As you can see, the rebel poor are making<br>

their get-away with Hope as their hostage<br>

The rest of us have been<br>

thrown into confusion because -<br>

well, because we're all moving<br>

so damned slowly. So we don't<br>

get to catch them. Not yet.<br>

Enjoy intermission,<br>

and see you -<br>

shortly!<br>

<br>

All<br>

Urinetown!<br>
