[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?

Roxie Hart

[ROXIE, spoken]

Boys!

[ROXIE (BOYS)]

(They're gonna wait outside in line)

(To get to see...) Roxie

Think of those autographs I'll sign

Good luck to ya! (Roxie)

And I'll appear in a lavalier that goes

All the way down to my waist

(Here a ring, there a ring, everywhere a ring-a-ling)

But always in the best of taste!

[ROXIE, spoken]

Mmm, I'm a star!

And the audience loves me!

And I love them

And they love me for lovin' them

And I love them for lovin' me

And we love each other

And that's cause none of us got enough love in our childhoods

And that's showbiz... kid

[ROXIE (BOYS)]

(She's given up her hum-drum life)

I'm gonna be... sing it! (Roxie)

(She made a scandal and a start)

And Sophie Tucker'll shit, I know

To see her name get billed below...
