Just another happy day in Urine Town
There's nothing to damp your mood or get you down
In Urine Town

We don't have problems
That we can't work out
Wee, wee, weeeee...
In Urine Town

Hey Mister, I'm new in town, can you show me the way to the theatre?
I've just come all the way down from Pissburgh
And I'm going to make it big!
I'm going to write my name on every wall in town!

You might as well go home, son
You might as well go home
The urine factory's closed
And you (mutters incomprehensibly)

Sorry?
You might as well go home...
No, no, no, move on, next
There used to be a steady stream of gold here
And now it's wet and cold here
Since the urine factory closed down
What's wrong with you, Mister?
I'm so pissed
Right

Excuse me
Who are you?
I'm the guy who tells you about the town meeting
Town meeting? I'd better go!

(Assorted people talking at once)
Order! Order!

It's all gone to piss here in Urine Town
It's all gone down the drain
Nothing gets passed here
In Urine Town
What are we gonna do?

We might as well go home...
Oh, don't listen to him, he's pissed

Order! The mayor wants to speak

Order, yes!
Yes, it's all gone to piss here in Urine Town
But if we all pull together as a team
We can push through the pack here in Urine Town
It's not over 'till the siren goes in Urine Town
If we kick another goal here in Urine Town...

Yes, but what are we going to do?
(Interrupting) Oh, excuse me. I've got an idea!

Awww... he's my favourite guy!
Sorry, I wrecked it, do it again
It's my favourite
Go on

Yes, but what are we going to do?
Yeah!
All right, okay

Umm... "Yes, I liked Tripod, but it was predominantly stupid voices"

I've got an idea. I've come from Pissburgh and we do things differently up there
Did you know you can make your own urine?

Sounds of disagreement) That's preposterous!
Hear me out!
Preposterous! Preposterous! Preposterous!
Hear me out!
Preposterous!
Hear me out!
Preposterous!
Hear me out!
Preposterous!
Hear me out
Preposterous
Hear me out
Preposterous
Hear me out
Preposter...
It's your line
... terous

(Realising) Oh

(Female voice) Wait!

Wait! Wait! Shh! Quiet everyone, quiet

(The audience is silent)

No, quiet! I believe in him

She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen
Skin as white as porcelain...

Take your glasses off and let your hair hang down

Eyes as blue as the bluest water you can imagine
A handy duck-shaped neck, for getting at those hard-to-reach places
I felt that until this moment I had pissed my life against the wall

So come on, everyone! Why don't we do things our way?
Get in a circle and pull your pants down!
From now on, the future is in your own hands!

The future's bright and clear in Urine Town...
From that day on, everyone made their own urine...
You can hear for miles around the hissing sound...
And we broke off the yoke of corporate oppression...
In Urine Town...
And I married that girl...
In Urine Town...
