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:

    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, Miss Velma Kelly in an act of desperation.
