This page shows “Act One Finale” by Urinetown (Musical) in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of F at 180 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
