We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands

Regina:

Mayor, we don't really know the first thing about these people, or even what they want to build!

Hertz:

Say you don't know me,

Or recognize my face

Say you don't care who goes

To that kind of place

Regina:

Knee deep in the hoopla

Sinking in your fight

Hertz;

Too many runaways

Hertz & franz:

Eating up the night!

Hertz:

Marconi plays the mamba

Regina:

Listen to the radio!

Don't you remember?

We built this city

We built this city on…

Mayor:

Clean, efficient living?

Hertz:

Exactly!

Regina;

But mayor, think about the businesses already there! what about them!?

Dennis:

They're calling it "economic redevelopment."

Apparently "the bourbon" no longer generates an "adequate tax revenue."

Lonny:

That's why i keep telling ya we need to bring back "naked jello wrestling thursdays!"

But this time, check it, we let women enter.

Dennis:

Maybe it's time to cash it in anyway--

Drew:

Whoa, dennis?! what are you saying?!

Dennis:

It's just--

I'm sittin' on this barstool

Talkin' like a damn fool!

Got the twelve o'clock news blues

And i've given up hope

For the afternoon soaps…

And a bottle of cold brew

Is it any wonder i'm not crazy?

Lonny:

So chew a couple prozac! come on, dennis!

Dennis:

Is it any wonder i'm sane at all?

Drew:

You do wash your hands a lot.

Lonny/ dennis/ drew/ hertz/ mayor/ franz/ regina

Is it any wonder i've got too much (clap) time on my hands

Dennis:

And it's tickin' away…

Lonny:

Tickin' away from me!

So you sell, but what do i do?! "the bourbon" is my life, man!

Dennis:

Hold the phone! you guys see who's in today's paper?!

Drew;

Monster rockers, "arsenal," are breaking up.

According to sources, lead singer, stacee jaxx,

Will leave the band after this tour to pursue a solo career--

Dennis:

Perfect right? lonny who gave stacee and arsenal their start?

Lonny:

We did so?

Dennis:

So? what if we hosted their last gig…ever.

Lonny:

The last arsenal show here?!

Dennis:

Tell that wouldn't generate an adequate tax revenue.

Plus, stacee still owes me from that hotel incident with the cool whip and the baby llama.

Lonny:

Love it.

Dennis:

I just hope it's enough.

Lonny:

It's gotta be i mean the mayor isn't a total money grubbing whore. wink.

Regina:

Mayor, you're not thinking clearly.

Hertz:

Mayor, take ze money unt…

Hertz/ ensemble:

Rid this city!

Regina:

No!

Mayor/ hertz/ franz/ ensemble

Rid this city of rock and roll!

Regina:

Not this city

Mayor:

Regina, you're fired.

Mayor/ hertz/ franz/ ensemble:

We'll rid this city of rock and roll!!

Regina:

You're not gonna get away with this!

Lonny:

I can't believe you still have his number.

Dennis:

Stacee? it's denbo.

Stacee jaxx:

Who?

Dennis:

Dennis, dennis dupree. listen,

How would you like to do your "arsenal" farewell show here at "the bourbon?"

Stacee jaxx:

Yeah, well we already got something planned for our last tour gig in portland. so ah…

Dennis:

I understand that. but just imagine for a second your last gig in a place that started it all.

A lot of press on something like that.

Stacee jaxx:

Yeah it sounds cool but ah…

Dennis:

And of course, we'd put your name above the band. stacee jaxx and arsenal.

One night only. right before a solo album…which, just between you and me, i'm so

Glad you're doing. you know what i always used to say about you.

Stacee jaxx:

What?

Dennis:

Well, you're a jet fuel genius

You can solve the world's problems

Without even tryin'

Stacee jaxx:

It's true.

I have dozens of friends

And the fun never ends

That is, as long as i'm buyin'

Is it any wonder i'm not the president?

Dennis:

I'd vote for you, stacee.

Stacee jaxx:

Is it any wonder i'm null and void?

Dennis:

I don't even know what that means.

Stacee/ dennis/ lonny/ drew/ franz/ hertz/ ensemble:

Is it any wonder i've got too much (clap) time on my hands

Dennis:

And it's tickin' away

Lonny/ dennis/ drew:

Tickin' away from me!!

Stacee/ dennis/ lonny/ drew/ franz/ hertz/ ensemble:

Too much time on my hands!

Dennis:

Tick, tick, tickin' away!!

Stacee/ dennis/ lonny/ drew/ groupies/ franz/ hertz/ mayor:

Too much time on my hands

Stacee jaxx:

I don't know what to do

Stacee/ dennis/ lonny/ drew/ groupies:

Too much time on my hands

Hertz/ mayor/ franz:

We will rid this city!

Ensemble:

Too much time on my hands

Regina/ hertz/ mayor/ franz:

Lonny/ drew/ franz/ hertz/ mayor/ regina/ dennis/ groupies:

Too much time on my hands

Hertz:

Stacee jaxx/ mayor:
