Some Like It Hot the Musical - Some Like It Hot Lyrics


The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

SWEET SUE:
The world is like this supper club
The Lord above, the maître-d’
He throws the menu down
Lets you peruse, then ask ya’ "what'll it be?”
The choices are many, so risk it, love
And have it your own way
‘Cause whatever butters your biscuit, love
Is fine by me
Which is why I say...

Some like a cool pastoral scene
With rolling hills, and woods of green
It’s heaven-sent, to pitch a tent
To bill in coo
Some like the warm Hawaiian clime
Where one can really take one’s time
And hit the sack, in a grass shack
Just made for two

Some like it nippy on the ice
‘Cause then the sheets are paradise
Keep rubbin’ hips, until your lips
Stop turning blue!
Some like it rough, some like it tame
Give me a moth who loves the flame
Some like it hot, and hot is what I got
For you!

SUGAR:
Now on a sultry summer day
Some consummate with consommé
Yes, as a rule it keeps things cool
As mountain air
And though the postman might ring twice
Some like a man who brings the ice
He cometh with his block
To stock my Frigidaire!

To warm the cockles of their heart
Some like a fresh young apple tart
But in a storm, just being warm
Will never do
But if you've a yen for Egg Foo Young
Mine’s guaranteed to burn your tongue
Some like it hot, and hot is what I got
For you!

DAPHNE:
If everybody was the same
Well, life would be a bore

SUGAR:
If Manny goes with Sammy, hell
That’s what he’s yearnin’ for!

DAPHNE:
Let different rhythms move your seat
For I have often found

DAPHNE & SUGAR:
We all dance to a different beat
And that’s what makes the world go ‘round!

SWEET SUE:
Shooby dooby doot dee doot dee dow
Shooby dooby doot dee doot dee
Dilliya doot, dillya doot, dillya di dow

DAPHNE, SUGAR & SWEET SUE:
Dilliya doot, dillya doot, dillya di dow

ALL:
Dilliya doot, dillya doot, dillya di dot dow!

SWEET SUE & SUGAR: (spoken)
Everybody, dance!

SWEET SUE:
If you like your seafood salty
Come and cast your line in me

DAPHNE:
If not, just keep on diving for
Some new fish in the sea

DAPHNE & SWEET SUE:
The world’s a great big candy store
So let your tootsie roll

SUGAR:
Come dance on through our swingin’ door
And put some sugar in your bowl!

ALL:
So ladies, Hades is the spot
To feel what angels sure are not
Some like it hot, and hot is what I got
For you!
Some like it hot
And hot
Is what I got for you!
