[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 boobs, 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?
