[bill]
if you looked at this town a few decades ago
you’d be appalled by the sheer lack of density
but this model before you shows a place on the grow
where fast becoming an immense city

between you and me
it’s a ripe opportunity
to invest in nothingless
than des-tinyyyyy!

awwwww, yeah!

there’s a porpoise spit casino –
and guys like you and me know
if you wanna make an omelette
you have to break some eggs

they didn’t want it here
but i gave the all clear
now it’s the tallest bl–dy omelette in the southern hemisphere!
done! i got it done!

our new shopping mall
used to be the old town hall
with a stupid statue!
we bulldozed the lot

the historical committee picked a fight
it wasn’t pretty
so i offered them shares –
they signed up on the spot
[heslop family]
done! ba ba da da ba ba ba ba ba dum
i got it done! ba ba da da ba ba ba ba

[bill]
when they say stop!
i say go!
when they say no
i say trow
and they say why
i say you can’t stop-

[all]
progress!

[bill]
i’m a believer in progress! [heslop family]
he’s a believer – yeah!
you can’t stop-

[all]
progress!

[bill]
a major achiever- [heslop family]
you never stop it! in pro-gress!
you never stop it!

[charlie chan]
you know what they call this great man?
bill the battler

[bill]
i’ve been battling all me life!

[charlie chan]
battling for porpoise spit!

[investor]
what’s this building here?

[bill]
oh that building there!
that’s porpoise spit high school
sadly not for sale

[investor]
oh, would you recommend it?

[bill]
it’s where all my kids attended

[investor]
education is splendid

[bill]
well, all of them failed!

[heslop family]
ba ba da da ba ba ba ba ba dum
ba ba da da ba

[bill]
here’s an example
of a typical millennial
my daughter muriel
never gets it right!
wants to be a secretary
i paid the tuition fee
10,000 dollars!
she still – can’t – type!

[muriel]
if i couldn’t type
then why did they give me my secretarial diploma?

[bill]
because i paid for it!
now she just sits around like a dead weight!
watching tv, sleeping all day and getting arrested at weddings!
you’re useless
you’re all useless!
a useless bunch of no hopers!

carparks!
resorts!
malls!
casinos! [charlie chan]
the giant prawn! prawns, prawns!
the fun banana! prawns, prawns!
the big chip! prawns!
sugar cane tower!

[bill & charlie chan]
i think big!

[deidre chambers]
big!

[bill & charlie chan]
i do it large!

[deidre chambers]
large!

[bill, charlie chan & deidre chambers]
the things you can accomplish
when the grown ups are in charge!
looking forward
let’s push ahead!
strap on the boots!
run it up the flagpole and see who salutes!

[deidre chambers]
(operatic solo)

[all]
progress!

[bill] [all except bill]
i’m a believer in progress! he’s a believer in progress!

[ensemble]
he’s a believer – yeah!

[all]
you can’t stop progress!
a major achiever-

[bill and ensemble] [heslop family]
you’ll never stop it! in progress!
you’ll never stop it!

[all]
progress!

[bill] [all except bill]
i’m a believer in progress! he’s a believer in progress!

[ensemble]
he’s a believer – yeah!

[all]
you can’t stop progress!

[bill & deidre chambers]
like jesus and caesar!

[all]
you’ll never stop it!
you’ll never stop it!
you’ll never stop it!
you’ll never stop it!

[all except bill]
progress

[bill]
you can’t stop

[all except bill]
progress

[bill]
you can’t stop

[all except bill]
progress!

[bill]
you can’t stop!

[all except bill]
progress

[bill]
you can’t stop

[all]
can’t stop
can’t stop
can’t stop
can’t stop-

[bill]
me!
