Urinetown: Opening

Livestock Player's production of Urinetown

Lyrics:

Lockstock
Better hope your pennies
Add up to the fee -
We can't have you peeing
For free
If you do, we'll catch you
We, we never fail!
And we never bother with jail

All
You'll get Urinetown!
Off you'll go to Urinetown!
Away with you to Urinetown!

Lockstock
You won't need bail

Later on you'll learn that these "public bathrooms" are controlled by a
private company. They keep admission hight, generally, so if you're down
on your luck you have to come to a place like this - one of the poorest,
filthiest urinals in town.

Little Sally
And you can't just go in the bushes either, there's laws against it.

Lockstock
That's right, Little Sally. Harsh laws, too. That's why Little Sally
here's counting her pennies. Isn't that so, Little Sally?

Little Sally
I'm very close, Officer. Only a few pennies away.

Lockstock
Aren't we all, Little Sally. Aren't we all.

Hope
Excuse me, sir, but can you tell me the way to the private company that controls these public bathrooms?

Bobby
You mean Urine Good Company?

Hope
That's the one.

Lockstock
You'll meet the guy who runs Urine Good Company later. That there's his daughter.

Bobby
It's quite a ways from here, ma'am. this here's the bad part of town.

Hope
So it is.

Bobby
But if you squint, you can just make out their headquarters rising above the skyline.

Hope
The gleaming tower on the hill?

Bobby
That's the one.

Hope
Gosh, it's beautiful

Bobby
You most certainly are.

Hope
Pardon?

Bobby
It most certainly is.

Hope
Oh dear, I'm late already. Thanks ever so much for the directions and such! Bye!

Bobby
Anytime!

Lockstock(to audience)
Well, we've talked on long enough, I imagine. Enjoy the show. And
welcome - to Urinetown (the musical)!

All
You our humble
Audience
You have come to
See
What it's like when
People can't pee
Free

First act lasts an
Hour
Don't assume you're
Fine
Best go now, there
Often is a
Line

This is Urinetown!
One restroom here at Urinetown!
It's unisex at Urinetown!
All by design

Lockstock, McQueen, Fipp and Barrell
It's the oldest story -
Masses are oppressed
Faces, clothes and bladders
All distressed
Rich folks get the good life
Poor folks get the woe
In the end
It's nothing you don't know

All
You're at Urinetown!
Your ticket should say Urinetown!
No refunds, this is Urinetown!
We'll keep that dough!

(Cast sings in unison)

All
Urinetown!

On with the

SHOW!
