Sue, may I check another bag? Is the dining car open all night? Sue- Ladies, ladies, ladies! Ladies, listen to me For in Sue you must trust Tell the past, "See ya later, alligators!" 'Cause our future is now It's California or bust, for Sweet Sue! And her Society Syncopators California, here we come! Tell the cats in my alley to find a new dish I'm California-bound! Tell my trumpet-hatin' neighbors they're getting their wish I'm California-bound! Too-da-loo to the loop And ta-ta to my coat There'll be no more runny noses Au revoir to strep-throat Tell the winds of old Lake Michigan They've blown their last note I'm California-bound! This is never gonna work This is just to get us out of town No one's askin' you to have a baby! There they are, oh god This is crazy, Joe! Not Joe, Josephine! You wanna live? Get into character, Geraldine! Maybe this will all blow over in a day or two Extra! Extra! Two witnesses hunted after gangland killing! We got a train to catch Girl, move them legs! I feel naked, like everybody's staring at me We're California-bound! No one's staring at you But ooh, I like what I see! We're California-bound! Take a look at these dames Every one is a pearl Do you think if I asked nicely One would give me a whirl? Man, you best just keep repeating, "I'm a girl" "I'm a girl!" We're California-bound! Young man, we need to check one saxophone and one upright bass, please Excuse me, ladies! I'm Sweet Sue, and these are my Society Syncopators! Charmed, I'm sure I'm Josephine and this is I'm Daphne! Daphne? Yes! She's Daphne! You're interesting women! I admire how you've chosen to express yourselves through perfume So, where are you gals off to with that sax and upright bass? Oh, we're just heading back for our second semester at the Sheboygan Conservatory of Music Wait, Sheboygan! I'm offering you twenty bucks a week right here, right now, to join my all-girl band! Make it twenty-five, and we bunk together Done! What are the odds that we'd find the exact right instruments At the exact right time, in the exact right place? Sometimes it's best not to overthink these things Tally-ho! Ladies, meet the new girls who'll be adding some class No, really, au contraire, it's you that's saving our ass! I'm Josephine on sax And girls, I'm Daphne on bass! But dammit, someone's missing Let me cut to the chase Well, I told her no booze And I told her no men And I have told her she must be on time, again and again So I am royally pissed we have to wait by this train For the always-tardy party known as Sugar Cane! Glad you could join us, Sugar Cut me some slack, Sue This is the earliest I've ever been late! Hey ladies, all aboard! Hey ladies, all aboard! Hey ladies, all aboard! Whether you're running away or you're running toward! Tell the men of Chicago, I'm hittin' the tracks I'm California-bound! Tell the boys in the band, Sugar's giving up sax I'm California-bound! 'Cause I'm safer in the long run with an all-girl band And it's time to say adieu to every one-night stand! Boys, from here on in this gal is strictly no-man's land! I'm California-bound! Tell all the folks in Cali-for-ni-a (All aboard!) The best in Chi-town is coming your way! If we all work as sisters, we simply can't fail I'm happy to see anything that's not on a male It's just there's too many men who are hot on our trail Let's spread some rhythm around and around! San Diego, we'll warn ya We'll rhythm and horn, ya 'Cause we're California We're California-bound! We're California-bound!
