Nowadays Lyrics

    ANNOUNCER:
    Ladies and Gentlemen, the Vickers Theater, Chicago's finest
    home of family and entertainment, is proud to announce a first.
    The first time, anywhere, there has been an act of this nature.
    Not only one little lady, but two! You've read about them in the
    papers and now here they are - a double header! Chicago's own
    killer dillers - those two scintillating sinners -
    Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly!

    Roxie & Velma:
    You can like the life you're living
    You can live the life you like
    You can even marry Harry
    But mess around with Ike
    And that's
    Good, isn't it?
    Grand, isn't it?
    Great, isn't it?
    Swell, isn't it?
    Fun, isn't it?
    But nothing stays

    In fifty years or so
    It's gonna change, you know
    But, oh, it's heaven
    Nowadays

    And that's
    Good, isn't it?
    Grand, isn't it?
    Great, isn't it?
    Swell, isn't it?
    Fun, isn't it?
    But nothing stays

    In fifty years or so
    It's gonna change, you know
    But, oh, it's heaven
    Nowadays

    ANNOUNCER
    Okay, you babes of jazz. Let's pick up the pace.
    Let's shake the blues away. Let's make the parties
    longer. Let's make the skirts shorter and shorter.
    Let's make the music hotter. Let's all go to hell
    in a fast car and KEEP IT HOT!
