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 murders not an art?

And who in case she doesn't hang
can say she started with a bang?
Roxy 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.
Roxie? They call me Roxie?
Think "BIG",
I'm gonna get main a whole bunch of boys.

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?
Roxy Roxie Hart

They're gonna wait outside in line
To get to see Roxie
Think of those autographs I'll sign
"Good luck to you, Roxie"
And I'll appear in 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 in the best of taste
Oooh I'm a star.

And I love the audience. And the audience loves me
for loving them. And I love them for lving me. And
we just love each other. That's because none of us
got any love in our childhood.
And that's show biz, Kid.


I‘m giving up my humdrum life
I'm gonna be
Roxie.

(Boys)
She made a scandal and a start.

[ROXIE]
And Sophie Tucker will shit, I know
To see her name get billed below

[ALL]
Roxy Roxie Hart!
