The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS: (spoken)
Sue, may I check another bag?
Is the dining car open all night?
Sue—
SWEET SUE: (spoken)
Ladies... Ladies... Ladies!
(sung)
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...
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
Sweet Sue!
SWEET SUE:
And her Society Syncopators
(spoken)
California, here we come!
MINNIE:
Tell the cats in my alley to find a new dish
I’m California-bound!
GINGER:
Tell my trumpet-hatin’ neighbors
they’re getting their wish
I’m California-bound!
DEVON:
Too-da-loo to the loop
VIVIAN:
And ta-ta to my coat
DEVON:
There’ll be no more runny noses
VIVIAN:
Au revoir to strep-throat
SWEET SUE:
Tell the winds of old Lake Michigan
They’ve blown their last note
SWEET SUE & SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
I’m California-bound!
JERRY: (spoken)
This is never gonna work
JOE: (spoken)
This is just to get us out of town
No one’s askin' you to have a baby!
JERRY: (spoken)
There they are. Oh god. This is crazy, Joe!
JOE: (spoken)
Not Joe. Josephine!
You wanna live?
Get into character, Geraldine!
JERRY: (spoken)
Maybe this will all blow over in a day or two
NEWSBOY: (spoken)
Extra! Extra!
Two witnesses hunted after gangland killing!
JERRY: (spoken)
We got a train to catch.
Girl, move them legs!
(singing)
I feel naked,
Like everybody’s staring at me
ALL:
We’re California-bound!
JOE:
No one’s staring at you
But ooh, I like what I see!
ALL:
We’re California-bound!
JOE:
Take a look at these dames
Every one is a pearl
Do you think if I asked nicely
One would give me a whirl?
JERRY:
Man, you best just keep repeating,
"I’m a girl"
JOE & JERRY:
"I’m a girl!"
ALL:
We’re California-bound!
JOE (as Josephine): (spoken)
Young man, we need
to check one saxophone
and one upright bass, please
SWEET SUE: (spoken)
Excuse me, ladies!
I’m Sweet Sue,
and these are my Society Syncopators!
JOE (as Josephine): (spoken)
Charmed, I’m sure.
I’m Josephine and this is
DAPHNE: (spoken)
I’m Daphne!
JOE (as Josephine): (spoken)
Daphne?
DAPHNE: (spoken)
Yes!
JOE (as Josephine): (spoken)
She’s Daphne!
SWEET SUE: (spoken)
You’re interesting women!
I admire how you’ve chosen
to express yourselves through perfume
MINNIE: (spoken)
So, where are you gals off to with
that sax and upright bass?
JOE (as Josephine): (spoken)
Oh, we’re just heading back
for our second semester
at the Sheboygan Conservatory of Music
SWEET SUE: (spoken)
Wait, Sheboygan!
I’m offering you twenty bucks a week right here,
right now, to join my all-girl band!
DAPHNE: (spoken)
Make it twenty-five, and we bunk together
SWEET SUE: (spoken)
Done! What are the odds
that we’d find the exact right instruments,
at the exact right time,
in the exact right place?
JOE (as Josephine): (spoken)
Sometimes it’s best not
to overthink these things Tally-ho!
SWEET SUE:
Ladies, meet the new girls
who’ll be adding some class
JOE(sephine) & DAPHNE:
No, really, au contraire,
It’s you that’s saving our ass!
JOE (as Josephine):
I’m Josephine on sax
DAPHNIE:
And girls, I’m Daphne on bass!
SWEET SUE:
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!
(spoken)
Glad you could join us, Sugar
SUGAR: (spoken)
Cut me some slack, Sue,
this is the earliest I’ve ever been late!
TRAIN CONDUCTOR:
Hey ladies, all aboard!
TRAIN CONDUCTOR & 2 PORTERS:
Hey ladies, all aboard!
ALL PORTERS:
Hey ladies, all aboard!
TRAIN CONDUCTOR & PORTERS:
Whether you’re running away
or you’re running toward!
SUGAR:
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!
CONDUCTOR & PORTERS:
Tell all the folks in Cali-For-Ni-A
WOMEN:
All aboard!
CONDUCTOR & PORTERS:
The best in Chi-town is coming your way!
SWEET SUE:
If we all work as sisters,
We simply can’t fail
SUGAR:
I’m happy to see anything that’s not on a male
JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE:
It’s just there’s too many men who are hot on our trail
ALL:
Let’s spread some rhythm around and around!
SUE, SUGAR, & MINNIE:
San Diego, we’ll warn ya!
ALL:
We’ll rhythm and horn, ya!
‘Cause we’re California
We’re California-bound!
We’re California-bound!
