Act One Finale

Bobby

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!

The poor

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!

Bobby

From ev'ry hill

Ev'ry steeple

Ring out the anthem

Of the people

Making a new way

Breaking the clouds of gray

To sing of today!

Bobby and the poor

Sing of today!

Sing of today

Sing today

Sing today

Sing today

Cladwell

A little brutality is exactly what these people need. officer lockstock!

Hope

Daddy, wait. he only wants the people to be happy.

Cladwell

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?

Bobby

But what of today?!

Cladwell

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!

The poor

But what of today?!

Cladwell and co.

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!

Cladwell

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

Cladwell and co.

You are wrong!

Hope

Oh, bobby, why didn't you tell me you were going to start a revolution?

Bobby

Maybe for the same reason you didn't tell me you were a cladwell. so you

Can join us or you can stand aside.

Hope

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!

Bobby

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

Fantastic'lly clear

When people pee free

We've nothing to fear

Hope

Give up now!

We'll find a way

Somehow

To help the people pee

Without a hefty fee

But if you must persist

Being an anarchist

My father's men will see

You're sent away from me!

You'll get urinetown!

Bobby, you'll get urinetown!

Off you'll go to urinetown!

Urinetown!

Urinetown!

Bobby

Your words

Were like seeds

At first they

Seemed mild

They grew into deeds

This riot's our child

Sing of today, not tomorrow!

End their lives of sorrow!

Today!

Today!

Sing of today!

Cladwell

You've picked a fight you can't win, today, mr. strong! your rabble is

No match for my men.

Little sally

You can punish our bodies, mr. cladwell, but you can never punish our

Spirits!

Soupy sue

Punish our bodies?!

Little becky two shoes

I never agreed to any punishment of my body!

Cladwell

Oh, punishment is all you'll ever know!

The poor

Bobby, help!

He'll turn our brains to kelp!

No matter what we do

We're in a real bad stew!

Those cops look awful mean

Like none we've ever seen!

When cladwell gives the cue

Our revolution's through! cladwell and ugc staff

You

Are wrong, mr. strong!

You

Are wrong, mr. strong!

Very

Wrong, mr. strong!

Bobby

Last night your words

Were like seeds

At first

They seemed mild

They grew

Into deeds

This riot's

Our child! the poor

Bobby, please!

There's no way to appease

A raging maniac

A real insaniac

He's like a speeding train

Caught in a hurricane

But he is in control

And he is on a roll! cladwell and ugc staff

You

Are wrong, mr. strong!

You

Are wrong, mr. strong!

Bobby

Looks like we're in a real bad spot, doesn't it. i suppose we should leave.

Hope

Oh, bobby, they'll never let you leave now.

Bobby

Not without you they won't. which is why you're coming with us.

Hope

But how can i come with you and not fight against my father,

Unless...unless...oh dear god, bobby, no!

And see you -
