Nowadays (roxie) Lyrics

ROXIE(Spoken)

...Gone, it's all gone.



(Singing)

It's good, isn't it?

Grand, isn't it?

Great, isn't it?

Swell, isn't it?

Fun, isn't it?

Nowadays



There's men everywhere

Jazz everywhere

Booze everywhere

Life everywhere

Joy everywhere

Nowadays



You can like the life you're livin'

You can live the life you like

You can even marry Harry

But mess around with Ike

And that's

Good, isn't it?

Grand, isn't it?

Great, isn't it?

Swell, isn't it?

Fun, isn't it...



ANNOUNCER(Spoken)

Ladies and gentlemen, the Vickers Theatre,

Chicago's finest finest home of famile entertainment,

is proud to announce a first. The first time, anywhere, 

there has been an act of this nature. Not only one 

little lady but two! You've read about them in the papers

and now here they are- a double header! Chicago's own

killer dillers- those two scintillating sinners-

Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly!!!!



ROXIE AND VELMA

You can like the life you're livin'

You can live the life you like

You can even marry Harry

But mess around with Ike

And that's

Good, isn't it?

Grand, isn't it?

Great, isn't it?

Swell, isn't it?

Fun, isn't it?

But nothing stays



In fifty years or so

It's gonna change, you know

But, oh, it's heaven

Nowadays



ANNOUNCER

Okay, you babes of jazz, Let's pick up the pace!

Let's shake the blues away. Let's make the parties longer.

Let's make the skirts shorter and shorter. Let's make

the music hotter. Let's go to hell in a fast car and

KEEP IT HOT!
