mark hollmann, greg kotis, john cullum – mr. cladwell (urinetown) lyrics
[verse 1: cladwell]
i saw gray skies, forboding and cold
i saw gray skies and made them rain gold
now those skies aren’t so bleak to behold
they’re still gray but they pay for your sal’ries tenfold
i took this town that formerly stank
i took this town and made it smell swank
i made flushing mean flush at the bank
i’m the man with the plan and so who should you thank?
[mqueen]
whom?
[chorus: ensemble]
mister cladwell
we’re so thankful
for that bank-ful of dough
you’re a toreador
and it’s cash that you gore
could we hope for much more?
we really doubt it!
[cladwell]
you may be right there
[ensemble]
mister cladwell
you’ve got riches
which is just what we need
we say hail to you, the duke of the ducats
[cladwell]
i can bring in bucks by the buckets
[ensemble]
you’re the master, you’re making money
[cladwell]
faster still than bees making honey
[ensemble]
you’re mister cladwell
[verse 2: mcqueen]
all those coins that we take from the throng
end up here where those coins all belong
lots of coins keep our company strong
[cladwell]
charging fees as we please is our right; it’s not wrong!
[mcqueen]
we’re not greedy, as some make us seem
we need funds for our big research team
[dr. billeaux]
men in lab coats with test tubes with steam
[mcqueen & cladwell]
what it shows, no one knows, but hey, still we can dream
[mcqueen]
of
[chorus: ensemble]
mister cladwell
finding answers
curing cancers of doubt
your ambitions are high, but you’re humble as pie
what a wonderful guy
we simply love you!
[cladwell]
you’re making me blush now
[ensemble]
mister cladwell
you’re so godly
oddly perfect and right
you are continental but unpretentious
fancy free, yet so conscientious
wise but trendy, tough as a mountain
goodness flows from you like a fountain
you’re mister
you’re mister
[cladwell]
cladwell!
[ensemble]
cladwell!
