[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 everyone knows They're gonna recognize my eyes My hair, my teeth, my boobs, my nose 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? Foxy Roxie Hart! (spoken) You wanna know something? I always wanted to be in Vaudeville.
