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 eveyone 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 murders not an art?
And who in case she doesn't
hang
can say she started with a bang?
Foxy Roxie Hart!
[ROXIE
(spoken)]
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 a whole bunch of boys.
