John Kander - Roxie lyrics

[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 eveyone knows They're gonna recognize my eyes My hair, my teeth, my b**bs, my nose From just some dumb mechanic's wife I'm gonna be roxie Who says that murders not an art? And who in case she doesn't hang Can say she started with a bang? Foxy roxie hart! [roxie (spoken)] You wanna know something?
