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 it's 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 pees each day
Until we pees 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
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:
Screepin' 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
