We built this city / too much time on my hands

Regina:
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
Too many runaways

Hertz & franz:
Eating up the night!

Hertz:
Marconi plays the mamba

Regina:
Listen to the radio!
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on…

Mayor:
Clean, efficient living?

Hertz:
Exactly!

Regina
But mayor, think about the businesses already there! what about them!?

Dennis:
They're calling it "economic redevelopment."
Apparently "the bourbon" no longer generates an "adequate tax revenue."

Lonny:
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:
Maybe it's time to cash it in anyway--

Drew:
Whoa, dennis?! what are you saying?!

Dennis:
It's just--
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:
So chew a couple prozac! come on, dennis!

Dennis:
Is it any wonder i'm sane at all?

Drew:
You do wash your hands a lot.

Lonny/ dennis/ drew/ hertz/ mayor/ franz/ regina
Is it any wonder i've got too much (clap) time on my hands

Dennis:
And it's tickin' away…

Lonny:
Tickin' away from me!
So you sell, but what do i do?! "the bourbon" is my life, man!

Dennis:
Hold the phone! you guys see who's in today's paper?!

Drew
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:
Perfect right? lonny who gave stacee and arsenal their start?

Lonny:
We did so?

Dennis:
So? what if we hosted their last gig…ever.

Lonny:
The last arsenal show here?!

Dennis:
Tell that wouldn't generate an adequate tax revenue.
Plus, stacee still owes me from that hotel incident with the cool whip and the baby llama.

Lonny:
Love it.

Dennis:
I just hope it's enough.

Lonny:
It's gotta be i mean the mayor isn't a total money grubbing whore. wink.

Regina:
Mayor, you're not thinking clearly.

Hertz:
Mayor, take ze money unt…

Hertz/ ensemble:
Rid this city!

Regina:
No!

Mayor/ hertz/ franz/ ensemble
Rid this city of rock and roll!

Regina:
Not this city

Mayor:
Regina, you're fired.

Mayor/ hertz/ franz/ ensemble:
We'll rid this city of rock and roll!!

Regina:
You're not gonna get away with this!

Lonny:
I can't believe you still have his number.

Dennis:
Stacee? it's denbo.

Stacee jaxx:
Who?

Dennis:
Dennis, dennis dupree. listen,
How would you like to do your "arsenal" farewell show here at "the bourbon?"

Stacee jaxx:
Yeah, well we already got something planned for our last tour gig in portland. so ah…

Dennis:
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:
Yeah it sounds cool but ah…

Dennis:
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:
What?

Dennis:
Well, you're a jet fuel genius
You can solve the world's problems
Without even tryin'

Stacee jaxx:
It's true.
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:
I'd vote for you, stacee.

Stacee jaxx:
Is it any wonder i'm null and void?

Dennis:
I don't even know what that means.

Stacee/ dennis/ lonny/ drew/ franz/ hertz/ ensemble:
Is it any wonder i've got too much (clap) time on my hands

Dennis:
And it's tickin' away

Lonny/ dennis/ drew:
