Vamp! - Christian Borle/J. Harrison Ghee/'Some Like It Hot' Original Broadway Cast
Lyrics by：Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman
Composed by：Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman
They just they just killed those guys
To death
We can't stay here Chicago's too hot
Sweet Sue needs a sax and a bass
And she's gonna get 'em
From now on I'm Josephine and you're Jeraldine
You've flipped your wig
Now you're talkin'
We're going on tour with Sweet Sue's band
Once we get to San Diego
It's a hop skip and a jump to Mexico
And how do you propose
We'll make it up as we go
It's like jazz we'll just vamp
We'll just vamp is not a plan
Moment of truth time brother
We gotta riff
We gotta jam
We gotta go
When thе club shuts down at two A M
And most folks hit the hay
Well we'rе two cats who love to jam
So we stay up and play
When someone hits a rhythm
Then a riff comes from a horn
Then we jump in and play it out
'Til a brand new song is born
Well this is like a late-night jam
But now it's just us two
So 'til the tune is perfect kiddo
You know what we have to do
We'll just vamp 'til we're ready
We'll just vamp on moon and June
We'll just vamp 'til the way to walk
And talk flows like a tune
We'll just vamp
'Til we find the groove that keeps us both alive
The Josephine and Geraldine save Joe and Jerry jive
You're not hearing me Joe
You're right I'm sorry
Let's hear your idea oh you don't have one
Strip
This girdle may be all that keeps us
From an early grave
Some nylons just might save us
But these legs will need a shave
Your magic can't protect us
And we do not own a gun
Well Joe we're out of options
So like stockings girl let's run
The girls we've known will now become
A note a beat a chord
So play it out and just put forth
Our musical feminine Smörgåsbord
We'll just vamp 'til we're ready
We'll just vamp on moon and June
We'll just vamp
'Til the way to walk and talk flows like a tune
We'll just vamp
'Til we hit the groove that let's us both survive
The Josephine and Geraldine save Joe and Jerry jive
We've been watching women since we crawled out of the crib
Yes there's a woman in me just think Adam and his rib
And for a voice just think of every songbird we have backed
We'll use the *****
And make the switch
Or this might be our final act
A wig is an accent
A stocking's a rest
There's a harmony in this scent
You'll be a sensation
In the right foundation
Find the doll
Beneath the gent
A skirt is a lick
A garter's a riff
There's a melody in this glove
Just make your pick 'til you're feeling diff—
Who's that looker in the mirror I think I'm in love
The girl I'll be will use her hips
Just like a set of drums
She'll go boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da
Row and hit the scene
Fellas here she comes
I'll tiptoe like an opus
Yes a symphony of strings
This fellow won't be mellow
More like Jell-O that's on springs
Let's put it all together
Every color shape and size
It's true we're really in a jam
So sister time to improvise
Sister time to improvise
So let's vamp 'til we're ready
We'll just vamp on moon to June
We'll just vamp
'Til the way to walk and talk flows like a tune
We'll just vamp
Now we've got the theme to play when we arrive
The Josephine and Geraldine
The Josephine and Geraldine
The Josephine and Geraldine save Joe and Jerry jive
