So you want happy, Mister Strong?
Did you say happy, Mister Strong?
If they pee today I'm sure they′ll be
With no rules and no more fees to pay
Things would be looking up!
But too bad the water that we share
What of tomorrow, Mister Strong?
But what of tomorrow, Mister Strong?
Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong!
Our resources are as fragile
As a newborn baby′s skull
And leave a lifeless hull!
Could it be you're so short-sighted
Think of tomorrow, Mister Strong!
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
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!)
He′ll turn our brains to kelp (You are wrong, Mr. Strong)
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)
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)
(Sing of today, not tomorrow)
Bobby, you'll get Urinetown!
(End their lives of sorrow)
Off you'll go to Urinetown! (Today)
Urinetown! (Sing of today!)
Well, that's it for Act One (u-rine-town)
As you can see (rine-town)
The rebel poor are making their getaway (u-rine-town)
With Hope as their hostage (rine-town)
Have been thrown into confusion (rine-town)
Because, well (town, rine-town)
Because we′re all moving so damn slowly here (town)
So, we don′t get to catch them (rine-town)
Not yet (rine-town, town)
Enjoy Intermission (u-rine)
And see you shortly (town)
