Roxie Lyrics by Ann Reinking

Chicago The Musical (New Broadway Cast Recording (1997))

1997

[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 murder's not an art?
And who in case she doesn't hang
Can say she started with a bang?
Foxy Roxie Hart!
(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
(sung)
The name on everybody's lips
Is gonna be
[BOYS]

[ROXIE]
Who says that murder's not an art?

With a bang?

Foxy Roxie Hart
[BOYS]
They're gonna wait outside in line
To get to see Roxie
[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
[BOYS]
And the audience loves her
[ROXIE, spoken]
And i love the audience
And the audience loves me
For loving them and I love them for loving me
And we just love each other
And that's 'cause none of us
Got enough love in our childhoods
[BOYS, spoken]
That's right

Oh yeah
She's giving up here humdrum life
