Testo Roxie Hart

Chicago (english) musical met het nummer:



ROXIE HART


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?

Roxie Hart!

(laugh)



ROXIE

ROXIE

Think of those autographs I'll sign

"Good luck to you,"

BOYS: Roxie

And I'll appear in a lavaliere

That goes all the way down to my waist

Everywhere a ring a ling

But always in the best of taste

Hmmmm, I'm a star.



ROXIE

And the audience loves me.

And I love them.

And they love me for loving them.

And I love them for loving me.

And we love each other.
