John Kander - Razzle Dazzle (Chicago) lyrics

(singing) Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Razzle dazzle 'em Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it And the reaction will be pa**ionate 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! Give 'em the old Billy and Company Razzle dazzle Razzle dazzle 'em Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous Billy Row after row will crow vociferous Billy and Company Give 'em the old flim flam flummox Fool and fracture 'em Billy How can they hear the truth above the roar? Billy and Company Throw 'em a fake and a finagle They'll never know you're just a bagel Billy Razzle dazzle 'em And they'll beg you for more! Billy and Company Give 'em the old double whammy Daze and dizzy '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 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!
