We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands

[REGINA, spoken]
Mayor, we don’t really know the first thing about these people,
or even what they want to build!

[HERTZ]
Say you don’t know me
Or recognize my face
Say you don’t care who goes
To that kind of place

[REGINA]
Knee-deep in the hoopla
Sinking in your fight

[HERTZ, with FRANZ]
Too many runaways
Eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba

[REGINA]
Listen to the radio
Don’t you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on-

[MAYOR, spoken]
Clean, efficient living?

[HERTZ, spoken]
Exactly!

[REGINA, spoken]
But mayor, think about the businesses already there! what about them?

[DENNIS, spoken]
They’re calling it 'economic redevelopment.'
Apparently "The Bourbon" no longer generates an adequate tax revenue.

[LONNY, spoken]
That’s why I keep telling ya, we need to bring back 'naked jello wrestling' Thursdays!
But this time, check it, we let women enter.

[DENNIS, spoken]
Maybe it’s time to cash it in anyway...

[DREW, spoken]
Whoa, Dennis! What are you saying?

[DENNIS, spoken]
It’s just--

[sung]
I’m sittin’ on this barstool
Talkin’ like a damn fool
Got the twelve o’clock news blues
And I’ve given up hope
For the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I’m not crazy?

[LONNY, spoken]
So chew a couple of Prozac! Come on, Dennis!

[DENNIS]
Is it any wonder I’m sane at all?

[DREW, spoken]
You do wash your hands a lot...

[FULL CAST]
Is it any wonder I’ve got too much time on my hands

[DENNIS]
And it’s tickin’ away

[LONNY]
Tickin’ away from me

[DENNIS, spoken]
Hold the phone! Do you guys see who’s in today’s paper?

[DREW, reading from the paper]
"Monster rockers 'Arsenal' are breaking up.
According to sources, lead singer, Stacee Jaxx,
will leave the band after this tour to pursue a solo career--"

[DENNIS, spoken]
Perfect, right? Lonny, who gave Stacee and Arsenal their start?

[LONNY, spoken]
We did. So?

[DENNIS, spoken]
So? what if we hosted their last gig… ever.

[LONNY, spoken]
The last arsenal show? Here?

[DENNIS, spoken]
Tell me that wouldn’t generate adequate tax revenue. Plus, Stacee still owes me from that hotel incident with the cool whip and the baby llama.

[LONNY, spoken]
Love it.

[DENNIS, spoken]
I just hope it’s enough.

[LONNY, spoken]
It’s gotta be! I mean, the mayor isn’t a total money-grubbing whore. Wink.

[REGINA, spoken]
Mayor, you’re not thinking clearly.

[HERTZ, spoken]
Mayor, take ze money and

[HERTZ & ENSEMBLE]
Rid this city

[REGINA, spoken]
No!

[MAYOR, HERTZ, FRANZ, & ENSEMBLE]
Rid this city of rock and roll

[REGINA, spoken]
Not this city!

[MAYOR, spoken]
Regina, you’re fired.

[MAYOR, HERTZ, FRANZ, & ENSEMBLE]
We’ll rid this city of rock and roll

[REGINA, spoken]
You’re not gonna get away with this!

[LONNY, spoken]
Woah, I can’t believe you still have his number.

[DENNIS dials STACEE and she picks up.]

[DENNIS, spoken]
Stacee? it’s Denbo.

[STACEE, spoken]
Who?

[DENNIS, spoken]
Dennis, Dennis Dupree. Listen, how would you like to do your Arsenal farewell show here at "The Bourbon?"

[STACEE JAXX, spoken]
Yeah, well we already got something planned for our last tour gig in Portland. so ah…

[DENNIS, spoken]
I understand that. But just imagine, for a second, your last gig in a place that started it all. A lot of press on something like that.

[STACEE JAXX, spoken]
Yeah, it sounds cool, but ah…

[DENNIS, spoken]
And of course, we’d put your name above the band. Stacee Jaxx and Arsenal. One night only. Right before a solo album. Which, just between you and me, I’m so glad you’re doing. You know what I always used to say about you.

[STACEE JAXX, spoken]
...what?

[DENNIS]
Well, you’re a jet fuel genius
You can solve the world’s problems
Without even tryin’

[STACEE JAXX, spoken]
It’s true.

[sung]
I have dozens of friends
And the fun never ends
That is as long as I’m buyin’
Is it any wonder I’m not the president?

[DENNIS, spoken]
I’d vote for you, Stacee.

[STACEE JAXX]
Is it any wonder I’m null and void?

[DENNIS, spoken]
I don’t even know what that means.

[FULL CAST excluding HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
Is it any wonder I’ve got too much time on my hands

[DENNIS]
And it’s tickin’ away

[LONNY, DENNIS, & DREW]
Tickin’ away from me

[FULL CAST excluding HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
Too much time on my hands

[DENNIS]
Tick, tick, tickin’ away

[FULL CAST excluding HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
Too much time on my hands

[STACEE JAXX]
I don’t know what to do

[FULL CAST excluding HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
Too much time on my hands

[HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
We will rid this city!

[FULL CAST, excluding HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
Too much time on my hands

[HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
Of rock and roll

[FULL CAST excluding HERTZ, MAYOR, & FRANZ]
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time--

[HERTZ, spoken]
Shall I call zee bulldozers?

[DENNIS]
Remember when you [redacted] with the baby llama?

[STACEE JAXX & MAYOR]
I'll do it.
