mark hollmann - too much exposition lyrics
lockstock
well, h-llo there. and welcome – to urinetown! not the place, of course
the musical. urinetown “the place” is … well, it’s a place you’ll hear
people referring to a lot through the show
penny
you hear the news? they carted old “so and so” off to urinetown the
other day
bobby
is that so? what he do?
penny
oh, such and such, i hear
bobby
well, what do you know. old “so and so”
lockstock
it’s kind of a mythical place, you understand. a bad place. a place you
won’t see until act two. and then…? well, let’s just say it’s filled
with symbolism and things like that. but urinetown “the musical”, well
here we are. welcome. it takes place in a town like any town…that you
might find in a musical. this here’s the first setting for the show. as
the sign says, it’s a “public amenity”, meaning public toilet. these
people have been waiting for hours to get in. it’s the only amenity they
can afford to get into
little sally
say, officer lockstock, is this where you tell the audience about the
water shortage?
lockstock
what’s that, little sally?
little sally
you know, the water shortage. the hard times. the drought. a shortage so
awful that private toilets eventually become unthinkable. a premise so
absurd that –
lockstock
whoa, there, little sally. not all at once. they’ll hear more about the
water shortage in the next scene
little sally
oh, i guess you don’t want to overload them with too much exposition, huh
lockstock
everything in its time, little sally. you’re too young to understand it
now, but nothing can kill a show like too much exposition
little sally
how about bad subject matter?
lockstock
well –
little sally
or a bad t-tle, even? that could kill a show pretty good
lockstock
well, little sally, suffice it to say that in urinetown (the musical)
everyone has to use public bathrooms in order to take care of their
private business. that’s the central conceit of the show!
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
well, we’ve talked on long enough, i imagine. enjoy the show. and
welcome – to urinetown (the musical)!
