Old Man Strong Bobby! Bobby, reason with the woman. I'm a little short this morning.
Bobby He's my Pa, Ms. Pennywise. Can't he come in for free? Just this once?
Penny Get your head out of the clouds, Bobby Strong. No one gets in for free. Every morning you all come here. And every morning some of you got reasons why ya ain't gonna pay. And I'm here to tell ya ya is gonna pay!
Old Man Strong In the name of God, Penny, what difference could it make?
Penny What difference?!
"Times are hard" "Our cash is tight" "You've got no right" I've heard it all before "Just this once" Is once too much Cause once they've onced They'll want to once once more
I run the only toilet In this part of town, you see So, if you've got to go You've got to go through me
It's a privilege to pee Water's worth its weight In gold these days
No more bathrooms Like in olden days You come here and pay a fee For the privilege to pee
Twenty years we've had the drought And our reservoirs have all dried up I take my baths now in a coffee cup I boil what's left of it for tea And it's a privilege to pee
The politicians in their wisdom saw That there should be a law The politicians taxed the toilets And made illegal Public urination and defecation
So, come and give your coins to me Write your name here in the record book The authorities will want to look If you've been regular with me If you've paid the proper fee For the privilege to pee
Bobby But Ms. Pennywise -
Penny I said no buts, Bobby. You're a sweet lookin' boy and I likes to keep you around, but this main ain't comin' in without payin'. Not this time.
Old Man Strong I can't wait much longer, Bobby. There's no tellin' what I might do!
Penny You think you've got Some kind of right?
The Poor Kind of right, kind of right!
Penny You think you'll come in here and go for free?
The Poor Snag a freebie!
Penny The only thing you'll get it "no" for free!
The Poor Negatory!
Penny I'm a business gal, you see
The Poor Business gal you see!
Penny I sell the Privilege to pee! The Poor
It's a privilege to pee
Penny The good Lord made us So we'd piss each day Until we piss away The good Lord made sure That what goes in men Must soon come out again So you're no different then From lowly me
The Poor Me Lowly me Lowly me Lowly me Lowly me!
Bobby But, Ms. Pennywise -
Old Man Strong That's enough, Bobby.
Penny And I think I'll charge you twice
Old Man Strong No need to jeopardize your position.
Penny Or better yet, have you arrested
Old Man Strong I'm through with all this, you see.
Penny Since you prefer the law gets tested
Old Man Strong Scrapin' cash three times a day
Penny And in Urinetown you'll see
Old Man Strong Crazy with the nitrates half the time
Penny Why it's dumb to fight with me
Old Man Strong It's no way to live, I tells ya. No way to live.
Penny For the privilege to pee!

Hope I see a river flowing for freedom I see a river just in view I see a river flowing for freedom I see a river straight and true
Come to the river flowing for justice Come to the river rendezvous Come to the river flowing for justice All for the people, me and you
Lockstock Well, as you guessed, Hope took over her father's business, instituting a series of reforms which opened the public bathrooms to all the people, to pee for free whenever they liked, as much as they liked, for as long as they liked, with whomever they liked. The UGC was renamed, "The Bobby Strong Memorial Toilet Authority" and was operated as a public trust for the benefit of the people.
Little Becky Two Shoes Sisters and brothers fight for the river
Hope Fathers and mothers
Little Becky Two Shoes Babies, too!
Hope and Little Becky Two Shoes All in the family, push toward the river Shove toward the river, why don't you?
All Step in the river, wade in the river Soak in the river through and through Once in the river, you are the river Friends on the shorelines, jump in too
Lockstock Of course, it wasn't long before the water turned silty, brackish and then disappeared altogether. As cruel as Caldwell B. Cladwell was, his measures effectively regulated water consumption, sparing the town the same fate as the phantom Urinetown. Hope chose to ignore the warning signs, however, preferring to bask in the people's love for as long as it lasted.
Little Sally What kind of musical is this?! The good guys finally take over and then everything starts falling apart.
Lockstock Like I said, Little Sally. This isn't a happy musical.
Little Sally But the music's so happy!
Lockstock Yes, Little Sally. Yes it is.
Josephine Such a fever. If only I had a cool, tall glass of water, maybe I'd have a fighting chance.
Hope But don't you see, Mrs. Strong? The glass of water's inside you, it always has been.
Josephine It has?
Hope Of course it has. Don't you know what you are?
Josephine A river?
Hope That's right. We all are.
You are the river, I am the river He is the river, she is too
Hope and Josephine All are the river flowing for freedom Flowing for justice, let's review
All We see a river flowing for freedom We see a river just in view You see a river flowing for freedom You see a river straight and true
Little Sally I don't think too many people are going to come see this musical, Officer Lockstock.
Lockstock Why do you say that, Little Sally? Don't you think people want to be told that their way of life is unsustainable?
Little Sally That, and the title's awful.
Lockstock I suppose you're right, Little Sally. I do suppose you're right.
Little Sally Can't we do a happy musical next time?
Lockstock If there is a next time I'm sure we can. Well, that's our story. Hope eventually joined her father in a manner not quite so gentle. As for the people of this town? They did as best they could. But they were prepared for the world they inherited, weaned as they were on the legend born of their founding father's scare tactics. For when the water dried up, they recognized their town for the first time for what it really was. What it was always waiting to be.
All This is Urinetown! Always it's been Urinetown! This place, it's called Urinetown!
Lockstock Hail Malthus!
All Hail Malthus!
Lockstock Thank you. And goodnight.
All That was our show!
