Chicago (Movie) - Razzle Dazzle Lyrics

BAILIFF(Spoken)

Mr. Flynn, his honor is here



BILLY(Spoken)

Thank you. Just a moment.

You ready?



ROXIE(Spoken)

Oh Billy, I'm scared.



BILLY(Spoken)

Roxie, you got nothing to worry about.

It's all a circus, kid. A three ring circus.

These trials- the wholeworld- all show business.

But kid, you're working with a star, the biggest!



(Singing)

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle

Razzle Dazzle 'em

Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it

And the reaction will be passionate

Give 'em the old hocus pocus

Bead and feather 'em

How can they see with sequins in their eyes?



What if your hinges all are rusting?

What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?



Razzle dazzle 'em

And they;ll never catch wise!



Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle



BILLY AND COMPANY

Razzle dazzle 'em

Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous



BILLY

Row after row will crow vociferous



BILLY AND COMPANY

Give 'em the old flim flam flummox

Fool and fracture 'em



BILLY

How can they hear the truth above the roar?



BILLY AND COMPANY

Throw 'em a fake and a finagle

They'll never know you're just a bagel,



BILLY

Razzle dazzle 'em

And they'll beg you for more!



BILLY AND COMPANY

Give 'em the old double whammy

Daze and dizzy 'em

Back since the days of old Methuselah

Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler



Give 'em the old three ring circus

Stun and stagger 'em

When you're in trouble, go into your dance



Though you are stiffer than a girder

They'll let you get away with murder

Razzle dazzle 'em

And you've got a romance



COMPANY(The same time as BILLY's)

Give 'em the old

Razzle Dazzle



BILLY

Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle

Razzle dazzle 'em

Show 'em the first rate sorceror you are

Long as you keep 'em way off balance

How can they spot you've got no talent

Razzle Dazzle 'em



BILLY AND COMPANY

Razzle Dazzle 'em

Razzle Dazzle 'em



And they'll make you a star!
