Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag (Chicago)

BANDMASTER

Ladies and Gentlemen

The Chicago Theatre is proud to announce a first

The first time anywhere there has been an act of this nature

Not only one little lady but two you've read about them in the papers and now here they are

Chicago's own killer dillers, those scintillating sinners

Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly

ROXIE AND VELMA

You can like the life you're living

You can live the life you like

You can even marry Harry

But mess around with Ike

And that's good

Isn't it grand?

Isn't it great?

Isn't it swell?

Isn't it fun?

Isn't it

But nothing stays

In 50 years or so, it's gonna change ya know

But oh its heaven, nowadays

BANDMASTER

Ok you babes of jazz

Let's pick up the pace

Let's make the parties longer, lets make the skirts shorter

Let's all go to hell in a fast car and keep it hot

ROXIE AND VELMA

And all that jazz!
