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:
