Chicago the Musical - Class Lyrics

MATRON
The whole world's gone low-brow.
Things ain't what they used to be.

VELMA
They sure ain't, Mama. They sure ain't. It's all gone.

Whatever happened to fair dealing?
And pure ethics
And nice manners?
Why is it everyone now is a pain in the ass?
Whatever happened to class?

MATRON
Class.
Whatever happened to, "Please, may I?"
And "Yes, thank you?"
And "How charming?"
Now, every son of a bitch is a snake in the grass
Whatever happened to class?

VELMA & MATRON
Class!
Ah, there ain't no gentlemen
To open up the doors
There ain't no ladies now,
There's only pigs and whores
And even kids'll knock ya down
So's they can pass
Nobody's got no class!

VELMA
Whatever happened to old values?

MATRON
And fine morals?

VELMA
And good breeding?

MATRON
Now, no one even says "oops" when they're
Passing their gas
Whatever happened to class?

VELMA
Class

VELMA & MATRON
Ah, there ain't no gentlemen
That's fit for any use
And any girl'd touch your privates
For a deuce

MATRON
And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA
And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass

VELMA & MATRON
Nobody's got no class!

VELMA
All you read about today is rape and theft

MATRON
Jesus Christ, ain't there no decency left?

VELMA & MATRON
Nobody's got no class

MATRON
Everybody you watch

VELMA
'S got his brains in his crotch

MATRON
Holy crap

VELMA
Holy crap

MATRON
What a shame

VELMA
What a shame

VELMA & MATRON
What became of class?
