[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.
