Razzle Dazzle Lyrics by Jerry Orbach

Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville (Original Broadway Cast)

1975

[BILLY]
It's all show business, kid:
These trials, the whole world
Show business
But kid, you're working with a star
The biggest

Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate

Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll never catch wise!

[COMPANY]
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance

Though you are stiffer than a girder
They let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

[BILLY AND COMPANY]
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
[BILLY]
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act that's unassailable
They'll wait a year till you're available

[BILLY AND COMPANY]
Give 'em the old double-whammy
[BILLY]
Daze and dizzy 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are

[BILLY AND COMPANY]
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you got no talents?

[BILLY]
Razzle dazzle 'em

[COMPANY]
Razzle dazzle 'em

[BILLY]
Razzle dazzle 'em

[BILLY AND COMPANY]
And they'll make you a star!
