letra de i’m california bound - natasha yvette williams

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, alligator”
‘cause our future is now
it’s california or bus, 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 loo, and ta-ta to my coattail
there’ll be no more runny noses, or wild strep-throat
tell the twins 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 asking 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 k!lling!

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 you gals off to with that sax and upright bass?
well, we’re just heading back for our second semester at the sheboygan conservatory of music
wait, sheyboygan! i’m offering you twenty bucks a week!
right here, right now, to join my all-girls band!
make it twenty-five and we bunk together
done! what are the odds that we’d find the exact right instruments, in 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
we’re 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 p-ssed, we have to wait by this train
for the always-tardy, party-goer 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 hitting 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 gala’s strictly no-mans-land!
i’m california-bound! (tell all the folks in californ-i-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’re rhythm and h-rn, yeah
‘cause we’re california—
we’re california-bound!
we’re california-bound!
