Chicago Soundtrack Nowadays Lyrics

Nowadays 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

 Nowadyas

 

 You can like the life you're livin'

 You can live the life you like

 You can even marry Harry

 But mess around wiht 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 wiht 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!
