Songfacts®:

  • "Too Much Exposition" is the opening number from the scatologically named musical Urinetown; like the entire score, it has music by Mark Hollmann and lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis. This short number is appropriately titled as it introduces the theme of the show to the audience. It is narrated largely by Officer Lockstock with some dialogue from Little Sally, and some brief singing by Lockstock and the Company. >>
