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!

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!
