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>

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>
<br>
