[A] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ What is urine town?
Urine town's the [Gm] end!
Swift [Dm] and brutal [C] punishment, no need now to pretend!
[Dm] The tractor sprung and then you're hung,
and when they cut you down,
[Gm] they'll box [Dm] you up and ship you out, [Db] and call [Dm] it urine town!
They'll box you up and ship you out,
and [E] call it urine town, [F] town, town, [Dm] town, town!
_ [Gm] _ [A] _ [D] _
_ _ [E] Cats!
[A] No!
Never [Dm] do they cats!
[Bb] Those people [E] down in urine [F] town,
they never get [Bb] the chance!
Dancing, [A] forget [Dm] it!
There's [Gm] another goat, unless [Dm] it's at the bottom of a boat!
_ People hear lots of things about urine town, of course,
and that's just the way we like it.
For example, a little boy once asked me,
is urine town actually a nice place to live?
[Gm] _
Gingerbread houses [C] along golden, [G] frothy [Ab]
canals?
[G] _ [Gb] Venice?
[E] [Eb] Only [D] different?
[Db] _
[C] [Dm] I didn't say yes.
_ I didn't say no, either.
_ What is urine town?
Urine town's a tool,
[Gm] an instrumental [Dm] power [A] to enforce my [Dm] iron rule!
So send your troops to all [A] the streets,
[Dm] and let them understand,
[Gm] if hope is [Dm] not returned,
[A] it's urine [Dm] town for all the land!
If hope is not returned, it's urine town for all the land!
Dance! _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Dance?
Do they [Dm] think I'll dance?
[Bb] Those people [C] with my daughter [F] want to make [Bb] me change my stance!
Stand, step, [A] forget [Dm] it!
Never not [Bb] a nun!
_ _ _ _ [E] _
I'll [F] teach them not to [D] take from me what's mine! _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [E] _ _ _ [Dm] What is urine town?
Urine town's a lie,
a means to keep the poor in check [Am] until the day they die!
[Dm] I did not shirk their dirty work,
but things are different now!
[Gm] We'll fight for our [Dm] right with all our might [A] until we [Dm] win somehow!
We'll fight for our right with all our might until we win somehow!
Howl!
Howl!
Howl!
[Gm] Howl!
[Dm] _ _ [A] _
[D] _ _ _ [E] Dance!
_ [A] [Dm] Dance!
[D] Listen to it [Bb] dance!
My heart is like a [Am] stallion racing through a [Bb] great [D] expanse!
[A] Canyons of freedom,
[Dm] that's where [Bb] it will waltz!
[G] Performing [D]
coronary _ somersaults! _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] What is urine [N] _ town?
_ _ _ Urine town is here!
_ [Gm] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
People learn to dance,
they learn to live in fear!
So look around!
[Bb]
You've finally [A] found
[Dm] the place [F] you asked [Bb] _ _ [Dm] about!
[Gm] For urine town [Dm] is your town
if you're [A] hopeless down [Dm] and out!
[C] _
_ [Bb] For urine town
[Dm] is your town
if you're [A] _ hopeless down [Dm] and [C] out!
_ [Bb] For _ urine town _ _
[Cm] is your town
_ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[A] If you're hopeless, _ die!
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] And [Em] out!
