Roxie - Gwen Verdon/Chicago Ensemble[00:00:00]

Written by：John Kander/Fred Ebb[00:00:00]

I always wanted my name in the papers[00:00:13]

Before Aremus I used to date this well to do ugly bootlegger[00:00:17]

He used to like to take me out and show me off[00:00:21]

Ugly guys like to do that[00:00:25]

Once it said in the paper[00:00:27]

Gangland's al capelli[00:00:29]

Seen with cute red headed Corenne[00:00:31]

That was me I clipped it out and saved it[00:00:34]

Look I'm gonna tell you the truth[00:00:38]

Not that the truth really matters[00:00:41]

But I'm gonna tell you anyway[00:00:44]

The thing is see I'm older than I ever intended to be[00:00:46]

And all my life I wanted to be a dancer[00:00:52]

In vaudeville ooh yeah[00:00:56]

Have my own act but no no no[00:00:58]

They always turned me down[00:01:04]

It was one big world full of no life[00:01:07]

Then Amus came along sweet safe Amus who never says no[00:01:13]

You know some guys are like mirrors[00:01:21]

And when I catch myself in Amus's face[00:01:24]

I'm always a kid you could love a guy like that[00:01:28]

Look now I gotta tell you[00:01:34]

Now I hope this ain't too crude[00:01:35]

In the bed department Amus was zero[00:01:38]

I mean when we went to bed[00:01:44]

He made love to me like he was[00:01:46]

Fixing a carburetor or something[00:01:48]

I love ya honey I love ya[00:01:51]

Anyway to make a long story short[00:01:55]

I started fooling around[00:01:58]

Then I started screwing around[00:02:01]

Which is fooling around without dinner[00:02:04]

I gave up the vaudeville idea[00:02:07]

Because well after all those years[00:02:10]

Oh he was here[00:02:11]

He sorta figured opportunities just passed you by[00:02:13]

Ooh it ain't oh no no no no babe it ain't[00:02:16]

If this film guy gets me off[00:02:21]

And with all this publicity now I got me a world full of yes[00:02:24]

The name on everybody's lips is gonna be Roxie[00:02:32]

The lady raking in the chips is gonna be Roxie[00:02:39]

I'm gonna be a celebrity that means somebody everyone knows[00:02:47]

They're gonna recognize my eyes[00:02:54]

My hair my teeth my boobs my nose[00:02:57]

From just some dumb mechanic's wife[00:03:05]

I'm gonna be Roxie[00:03:09]

Who says that murder's not an art[00:03:12]

And who in case she doesn't hang[00:03:19]

Can say she started with a bang[00:03:22]

Roxie heart[00:03:28]

I gotta get me some boys[00:03:34]

I'm gonna get me a whole bunch of boys[00:03:38]

They're gonna wait outside in line to get to see Roxie[00:03:41]

Think of those autographs outside good luck to you Roxie[00:03:49]

And I'll appear in a lavaliere that goes all the way down to my waist[00:03:56]

Here a ring there a ring everywhere a ring a ling[00:04:03]

But always in the best of taste[00:04:06]

I'm a star and they love me and I love them[00:04:13]

And they love me for loving them[00:04:17]

And I love them for loving me and we love each other[00:04:19]

That's because none of us got enough love in our childhood[00:04:23]

And that's showbiz kid[00:04:27]

She's giving up her hum drum life[00:04:32]

I'm gonna be a Roxie[00:04:36]

She made to stand tall and a star[00:04:39]

And Sophie duck her old ship I know[00:04:45]

To see her name yet build below[00:04:49]

Roxie Roxie heart[00:04:53]
