Sue, may I check another bag?
Is the dining car open all night?
Ladies?
Ladies?
Ladies!
Ladies, listen to me, for in Sue you must trust
Tell the past, see you later, alligators
Cause our future is now,
is California our best for
Sweet Sue!
And her society, see the painters!
Tell the cats in my alley to find a new dish I'm California bound!
Tell my trumpet-hating neighbors they're
getting their wish I'm California bound!
Toodle-oo to the loop,
and ta-ta to my coat There'll be no more runny noses,
or if what a strep throat
Tell the winds off 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 asking you to have a baby.
There they are.
Oh God, this is crazy, Joe. Not Joe, Josephine.
You wanna live?
Get in the character, Geraldine.
Maybe this will all blow over in a day or two.
Extra,
extra! Two witnesses hunted after gangland killing!
We gotta train the 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,
everyone 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 in one upright bass,
please.
Excuse me,
ladies,
I'm Sweet Sue,
and these are my society's 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 yourself 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 20 bucks a week,
right here,
right now,
to join my all-girl band!
Make it 25, 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.
Well,
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 t'ward!
Tell the men of Chicago I'm hitting the tracks! I'm California bound!
Tell the boys in the band Sugar's giving up sacks!
I'm California bound! Cause I'm safer in the long one with an all
-girl band! And it's time to say adieu to every one-night stand,
boys! From here on in,
this gala's strictly no man's land! I'm California bound!
Tell all the folks in California I hate! The best in
Chidon is coming your way! If we all work as sisters,
we simply can't fail!
I'm happy to see anything that's not Autumn Bell!
And since there's too many men who are hot on our trail,
let's run some rhythm around!
