Act One Finale

Free!

People are free!

How can a fee enslave us?

See

How we can be

Free from the chains

He gave us!

We're suffering now

Such lives of sorrow

Don't give us tomorrow

Just give us today!

Free!

People are free!

How can a fee enslave us?

See?

How we can be

Free from the chains he gave us!

We're suffering now

Such lives of sorrow

Don't give us tomorrow

Just give us today!

From every hill

Every steeple

Ring out the anthem

Of the people

Making a new way

Breaking the clouds of gray

To sing of today!

Sing of today!

Sing of today!

Sing today

Sing today

Sing today

A little brutality is exactly what these people need

Officer Lockstock!

Daddy, wait!

He only wants the people to be happy

Happy, you say?

Happy?

So you want happy, Mister Strong?

Did you say happy, Mister Strong?

If they pee today I'm sure they'll be

As happy as a pup

With no rules and no more fees to pay

Things would be looking up!

But too bad the water that we share

Could fit inside a cup!

What of tomorrow, Mister Strong?

But what of today?

But what of tomorrow, Mister Strong?

Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong!

Our resources are as fragile

As a newborn baby's skull

With your actions

You would gut the child

And leave a lifeless hull!

Could it be you're so short-sighted

So insensitive, so dull?

Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong!

But what of today?

You are wrong, Mister Strong

You and your socialistic throng

If the people pee for free

They'll push the system to the brink

If today there's spillage

Tell us how tomorrow will not stink!

If it's you and me, now, Mister Strong

Which one of us will blink?

I say it's you, Mister Strong

For on the subject of tomorrow

You are wrong!

Oh, Bobby

Why didn't you tell me you were gonna start a revolution?

Maybe for the same reason you didn't tell me you were a Cladwell

So, you can join us

Or you can stand aside

Bobby, think!

You're standing on the brink!

You'll be arrested soon

Perhaps as soon as noon

And I could never bear

To see you taken where

The guilty pee-ers meet

The toilet judgement seat!

You said to follow your heart

Here's where my heart leads

Now I'll do my part

To banish all needs

You made me to see

Fantastically clear

When people pee free

We've nothing to fear

Give up now!

We'll find a way somehow (your words were-)

To help the people pee (-like seeds)

Without a hefty fee (at first they)

But if you must persist (seemed mild)

Being an anarchist (they grew)

My father's men will see (into deeds)

You're sent away from me! (This riot's our child!)

You'll get Urinetown!

Sing of today. not tomorrow

Bobby, you'll get Urinetown!

End their lives of sorrow

Off you'll go to Urinetown! (Today!)

Urinetown! (Today!)

Urinetown! (Sing of today!)

You picked a fight you can't win today, Mr. Strong

Your rabble is no match for my men

You could punish our bodies, Mr. Cladwell

But you could never punish our spirits

Punish our bodies?

I never agreed to any punishment of my body!

Oh, ho ho

Punishment is all you'll ever know

Bobby, help

He'll turn our brains to kelp (You are wrong, Mr. Strong)

No matter what we do

We're in a real bad stew (You are wrong, Mr. Strong)

These cops look awful mean

Like none we've ever seen (Very wrong, Mr. Strong)

When Cladwell gives the cue

Our revolution's through (You are wrong, Mr. Strong)

Bobby, please (last night)

There's no way to apease (your word were)

A raging maniac (like seeds)

A real insan-iac (at fist they)

He's like a speeding train (seemed mild)

Caught in a hurricane (they grew in-)

But he is in control (-to deeds)

And he is on a roll (this riot's our)

Cladwell's nuts (child)

With no ifs ands or buts (the child is)

Yes, he's a real live loon (on fire)

A freaking Looney Tune (he's hot as)

And when he's done with us (the sun)

We'll find we're on a bus (he burns like)

Bound for that unknown place (a pyre)

That we all dread to face ('til freedom is won)

You'll get Urinetown!

(Sing of today, not tomorrow)

Bobby, you'll get Urinetown!

(End their lives of sorrow)

Off you'll go to Urinetown! (Today)

Urinetown! (Today!)

Urinetown! (Sing of today!)

So?

What'll it be, Bobby?

Looks like we're in a real bad spot

Doesn't it?

I suppose we should leave

Oh, Bobby

They'll never let you leave now

Not without you, they won't

Which is why you're coming with us

But-

How can I come with you

And not fight against my father?

Unless... unless

Oh, dear god

Bobby, no!

From every hill

Every steeple

Ring out the anthem of the people

Making a new way

Breaking the clouds of gray

To sing of today

Sing of today

Sing of today!

Sing today!

Sing today!

Sing today!

Keep your men back, Cladwell

We've got your daughter

And we're not letting her go

Boss, what do we do?

Seize them!

No!

Don't let them get away!

Help me!

Help her!

Now, run everybody

Run for your lives!

Run!
