Brother, times are tough, no one's got enough
The Depression is in full swing
And to make things worse, we're all under a curse
Of the government prohibiting

Yes, we're all in a fix from their federal tricks
And Chicago is on the brink
Ah, but I've got the keys, 'cause in times like these
We could certainly all use a drink!

Are you lookin' for a friendly door
To knock and come on in?
Well, the name's Sweet Sue and I'm here for you
So that the good times can begin

If you need good hospitality
Well then, sucker, check your troubles and come sit by me!
Let me figure out your recipe
Yeah, what are you thirsty for?

Doo-wah

Are you achin' for

Bop

A whole lot more

Or about to call it quits?

Let me introduce
All the kinds of juice

Prohibition prohibits

'Cause when you're drowning in a sea of debt
That's the time you're gonna wanna get your whistle wet
Is there something special I can get?

Yeah, what are you thirsty for?

I can see real good times around the bend
I can feel 'em coming by and by (I feel 'em coming by and by)
But until that blessed day, my friend
This is no time to be dry! (Be dry!)
Do you have a yen every now and then
To let loose and ring the bell? (Sounds swell!)
Well, then read my lips and watch my hips
And let's merrily go to hell! (Do tell!)
When the hard times put you to the test
And The Depression has you feeling so damn depressed
Lay your weary head on my chest (ooh)

Yeah, what are you thirsty for?

On the outside, times are lookin' grim (lookin' grim)
Oh, but here inside there ain't no clocks! (No clocks!)
Let the fools outside all sink or swim

As we stay high on the rocks!

Is the small amount in your bank account
Barely keeping you afloat? (Doo-wah!)
Well, for cryin' out loud, come join the crowd
'Cause we're all in the same damn boat! (Doo-wah!)

And if you find you're down to your last yacht
And there ain't no chicken kickin' in every pot
Well, an eighty proof meal might hit the spot

Yeah, what are you thirsty for?

What are you thirsty

Zee bob ba zee dop bop ba beep bop ba dop bow!

Hey! Hey!

Ba-da-ba-dee-dop-ba-dow

Whoo! Whoo!

I like that!

Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

Ba-da-ba-dee-ba
Bop-ba-da-ba-dee-ba-ba-da
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Whup-whup-wah

Keep the tempo poundin' hard and fast

Let's keep dancing 'til the crack of dawn (crack of dawn)
There is no use livin' in the past
And tomorrow we may all be gone!

Federal Agent, this is a raid!

Tomorrow we'll be travelin' on!

Come on

Dance and sing (woo!)
We're in full swing

And the gin has got to wait

Oh, we'll have a ball
'Til they yell

"Last call!"

For another goddamn raid!

Raid?

And when I'm laid out on Judgement Day (hmm)
I'll be fine to find I'm headed down
Old Satan's way! (Satan's way! Satan's way!)

And this is what I pray I'll hear him say

"Take a seat, Sweet Sue (take a seat, Sweet Sue!)
I've been expecting you (a table for two!)
And I'm about to pour
So what are you thirsty for?"

Doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot
Doo-doo-doot
Gin!
