Ha! But how is the song not Go, Freedom, Go? What a missed opportunity.
It’s a callback to an earlier line in the play.
Besides, the rest of the play (especially the first two songs) have enough puns to last a while.

I’m going to have to check this out.
There are a couple of productions on YouTube, but, as with any show, in person will get you a better experience.

Better to be pissed off than pissed on.

It’s all a misunderstanding. He was just following the time-honoured advice for cooking kidneys: Boil the piss out of 'em!

My first thought was some medieval dying methods, but the “medical purposes” rules that out.
There’s also “ye olde” cleaning methods…

Make sure to stand upwind; I once made the mistake of piss-extinguishing a campfire (I was in the desert, water was in short supply) without taking proper care of this factor.
Never again.

I knew that distilled urine was once widely used as a disinfectant, but this is just one why I’m glad I was born after the invention of “bactine.”

What’s the fuss? Hey, we’ve all cooked our own urine.

There’s a fringe belief that drinking your own urine is good for you. They cite as evidence people who were in dire survival situations (think lost at sea or stranded in the desert) who resorted to drinking their own urine and then managed to survive against all odds. It’s best not to think about it too much.
I once turned on the stove without noticing the cat had peed on it. To this day it is the worst thing I’ve ever smelled.
