[Verse 1: Renée Zellweger]
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 b**bs, my nose
[Verse 2: Renée Zellweger]
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?
Roxie Hart
[Spoken: Renée Zellweger]
Boys!
[Verse 3: Renée Zellweger & (Male Ensemble)]
(They're gonna wait outside in line)
(To get to see...) Roxie
Think of those autographs I'll sign
Good luck to ya! (Roxie)
And I'll appear in a lavalier that goes
All the way down to my waist
(Here a ring, there a ring, everywhere a ring-a-ling)
But always in the best of taste!
[Spoken: Renée Zellweger]
Mmm, I'm a star!
And the audience loves me!
And I love them
And they love me for lovin' them
And I love them for lovin' me
And we love each other
And that's cause none of us got enough love in our childhoods
And that's showbiz... kid
[Verse 4: Renée Zellweger & (Male Ensemble)]
(She's given up her hum-drum life)
I'm gonna be... sing it! (Roxie)
(She made a scandal and a start)
And Sophie Tucker'll sh**, I know
To see her name get billed below...
Roxie Hart
[Outro: Male Ensemble]
