Lyrics

[DAPHNE, spoken] Oh, Osgood You saved us all [OSGOOD, spoken] Anything for my Daphnecita [DAPHNE, spoken] But before we marry, I need to tell you something [OSGOOD, spoken] What is it, mi amor? [DAPHNE, spoken] Well to begin, I doubt your mother will ever approve of me I have a terrible past I smoke, I drink [OSGOOD, spoken] Not nearly enough for her tastes, I assure you [DAPHNE, spoken] I can never have children [OSGOOD, spoken] We can adopt [DAPHNE, spoken] You don't understand— [OSGOOD, spoken] Daphne, my dear I do understand and I think you're perfect​ [DAPHNE, spoken] Osgood (sung) Nobody's perfect [OSGOOD] Well, that may be true But Daphne's perfect for me Osgood's perfect for you [DAPHNE] Well then, what is there to say except I do, I do? [OSGOOD] Welcome to Daphnecita's, the hottest club in Los Angeles! It's my pleasure to introduce our Lady of Libation Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators! [SWEET SUE, spoken] Tonight is a very special night, Osgood Let's raise a glass of lawful liquor, my pets For the twenty-first amendment has just been ratified And that spells the end of prohibition! We've been bad for so long, let's see if we can remember how to be good! (sung) Who needs flappers and bathtub gin? To hell with the depression, let the fun begin 'Cause the band's all I need for the kicks to kick in Baby, let's get good! Poor public enemy number one The government just went and spoiled all his fun And though I'll really miss the way that gangster handled his gun Baby, let's get good! [GINGER] Well, they ended the party when they gave us permission [MINNIE] I know I shouldn't say it, but I'll miss Prohibition [DOLORES] We'll have to choose a Sunday kind of celebrating [SWEET SUE & SYNCOPATORS] The positive is what we'll now be accentuating [SWEET SUE] What are you thirsty for? [SWEET SUE & ENSEMBLE] What are you thirsty for? So keep your flappers and bathtub gin Yeah, go and tell the milkman that we'll give him a spin [SWEET SUE] Oh, but now and then we'll break for some original sin [ALL] Baby, let's get good! [SUGAR, DAPHNE & JOE] Yeah, who woulda thought when we boarded that train [JOE] That all the lights in Hollywood would spell "Sugar Kane" [SUGAR] Yes, MGM's calling [OSGOOD] The band's made a killing [DAPHNE & JOE] And we can still be partners [DAPHNE] Yeah, but who gets top billing? [JOE & SUGAR] No more hiding the love we've got [DAPHNE & OSGOOD] And now the time has come for us to tie the knot [SWEET SUE] Then we'll turn up the heat because we like it hot [COMPANY] Yeah, things are looking as they should! Baby, baby, baby, let's get good! [Dance break] [DAPHNE & JOE] And when the curtain rises every night [JOE] You'll be at my left [DAPHNE] You'll be at my right [COMPANY] There's no hotter ending to discuss And you can't have me If you don't have us!
