Some Like It Hot the Musical - What Are You Thirsty For? Lyrics
The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
SWEET SUE:
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 hеre for you
So that the good times can bеgin
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?
ENSEMBLE:
Doo-wah
SWEET SUE:
Are you achin’ for
ENSEMBLE:
Bop
SWEET SUE:
A whole lot more?
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
Or about to call it quits!
SWEET SUE:
Let me introduce
All the kinds of juice
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
Prohibition prohibits
SWEET SUE:
‘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?
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
Yeah, what are you thirsty for?
SWEET SUE:
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)
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
Yeah, what are you thirsty for?
SWEET SUE:
On the outside times are lookin’ grim (Lookin' grim)
But here inside there ain’t no clocks! (No clocks!)
Let the fools outside all sink or swim
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
As we stay high on the rocks!
SWEET SUE:
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
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
Yeah, what are you thirsty for?
SWEET SUE:
What are you thirsty...
Zee bob ba zee dop bop ba beep bop ba dop bow
ENSEMBLE:
Hey! Hey!
SWEET SUE:
Ba da ba dee dop ba dow
ENSMBLE:
Whoo! Whoo!
SWEET SUE: (spoken)
I like that!
ENSEMBLE:
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
SWEET SUE:
Ba da ba dee ba
Bop ba da ba dee ba ba da
Ba da ba da ba da
Whup whup wah
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
Keep the tempo poundin’ hard and fast
SWEET SUE:
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!
MULLIGAN: (spoken)
Federal Agent, this is a raid!
ENSEMBLE:
Tomorrow we’ll be travelin’ on!
SWEET SUE:
Come on
Dance and sing (Woo!)
We’re in full swing
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
And the gin all got to me
SWEET SUE:
Oh, we’ll have a ball
‘Til they yell
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
“Last call!"
SWEET SUE:
For another goddamn raid!
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
Raid?
SWEET SUE:
And when I’m laid out on Judgement Day
I’ll be fine to find I’m headed down
Old Satan’s way!
(Satan’s way! Satan’s way!)
SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE:
And this is what I pray I’ll hear him say:
SWEET SUE:
“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?
ENSEMBLE:
Doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Doo doo doot
Gin!
