Urinetown - Mr. Cladwell

Urinetown the Musical: the original cast recording
Lyrics:

Cladwell
I saw gray skies, foreboding and cold!
I saw gray skies and made them rain gold!
Now those skies aren't so bleak to behold!
They're still gray
But they pay
For your sal'ries tenfold!

I took this town that formerly stank
I took this town and made it smell swank!
I made flushing mean flush at the bank!
I'm the man
With the plan
And so who should you thank?

McQueen
Whom?

Chorus
Mister Cladwell
We're so thankful
For that bank full of dough!
You're a toreador
And it's cash that you gore!
Could we hope for much more?
We really doubt it!

Cladwell
You may be right there!

Chorus
Mister Cladwell
You've got riches
Which is just what we need!

We say
Hail to you, the Duke of the ducats!

Cladwell
I can bring in bucks by the buckets!

Chorus
You're the master
You're making money!

Cladwell
Faster still than bees making honey!

Chorus
You're Mister Cladwell!

Hope
Gosh Daddy, I never realized large, monopolizing corporations could be
such a force for good in the world.

Cladwell
Few do.

McQueen
All those coins
That we take from the throng
End up here
Where those coins all belong
Lots of coins
Make our company strong!

Cladwell
Charging fees
As we please
Is our right - it's not wrong!

McQueen
We're not greedy as some make us seem
We need funds for our big research team

Dr. Billeaux
Men in labcoats and test tubes with steam!

Cladwell and McQueen
What it shows
No one knows
But, hey, still we can dream!

McQueen
Of!

Chorus
Mister Cladwell
Finding answers
Curing cancers
Of doubt!

Your ambitions are high
But you're
Humble as pie!
What a wonderful guy!
We simply love you!

Hope
Da-

Da, Da
Da, Da, Daddy
That's my Dad!
Daddy
Daddy
That's my Daddy
And I simply
Love you!

Cladwell
You're making me blush now!

Chorus
Mister Cladwell
You're so godly!
Oddly perfect and right!

Men
You are continental, yet
Unpretentious!

Women
Fancy-free, yet so conscientious!

Men
Wise but trendy, tough as a mountain!

Chorus
Goodness flows from you like a fountain!
You're mister, you're Mister -

Cladwell
Cladwell!

Chorus
Cladwell!

THATS MY DAD

@MrConundrumBum Hope?!

@Leaffeather You should note that the daughter is "less annoying' in the original broadway recording. This user raised the pitch to avoid copyright infringement. The original is much better.

[Destroyyouallstudios]

@Leaffeather Yea, I feel the same. Still a great play though.

I usually always like original cast but the daughter ruins it for me.
