Chicago the Musical - Roxie Lyrics
ROXIE
The name on everybody's lips
Is gonna be Roxie
The lady rakin' in the chips
Is gonna be Roxie
I'm gonna be a celebrity
That means somebody everyone knows
They're gonna recognize my eyes
My hair, my teeth, my boobs, my nose
From just some dumb mechanic's wife
I'm gonna be Roxie
Who says that murder's not an art?
And who in case she doesn't hang
Can say she started with a bang?
Foxy Roxie Hart!
ROXIE
You wanna know something?
I always wanted to be in vaudeville.
And now that I'm a celebrity,
I'm gonna have me a swell act, too.
Yeah, I'll get a boy to work with -
Someone who can lift me up,
Show me off - Oh, hell, I'll get two boys.
It'll frame me better.
Think "Big," Roxie, think "Big."
I'm gonna get me
a whole bunch of boys.
The name on everybody's lips
Is gonna be
BOYS
Roxie
ROXIE
The lady rakin' in the chips is gonna be
BOYS
Roxie
She's gonna be a celebrity
ROXIE
That means somebody everyone knows
BOYS
They're gonna recognize her eyes
Her hair, her teeth...
ROXIE
...my boobs, my nose
Ooh, ah ah ah
From just some dumb mechanic's wife
I'm gonna be
Sing it!
BOYS
Roxie
ROXIE
Who says that murder's not an art?
BOYS
And who in case she doesn't hang
ROXIE
Can say she started with a bang?
BOYS
Foxy Roxie Hart!
BOYS
They're gonna wait outside in line
To get to see Roxie
ROXIE
Think of those autographs I'll sign
"Good luck to you, Roxie"
And I'll appear in a lavaliere
That goes all the way down to my waist
BOYS
Here a ring, there a ring
Everywhere a ring a ling
ROXIE
But always the best of taste
Oooh, I'm a star.
BOYS
And the audience loves her.
ROXIE
And I love the audience.
And the audience loves me for loving them.
And I love the audience for loving me.
And we just love each other.
That's because none of us got
enough love in our childhood.
BOYS
That's right.
ROXIE
And that's show biz, kid.
BOYS
Oh, yeah.
She's giving up her humdrum life
ROXIE
I'm gonna be
BOYS
Roxie.
She made a scandal and a start.
ROXIE
And Sophie Tucker will shit, I know
To see her name get billed below
ALL
Foxy Roxie Hart
BOYS
Chuh, chuh, chuh, etc...
ROXIE
Oooh ah ah ah ah ah ah
(As boys exit)
Those are my boys.
ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
