Roxie Lyrics

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.

 

 The name on everybody's lips 

 Is gonna be

 "Good luck to you, Roxie"

 Oooh I'm a star.

 [ROXIE (spoken)]

 And I love the audience. And the audience loves me 

 for loving them. And I love them for lving me. And 

 we jus tlove each other. That's because none of us

 got any love in our childhood.
