Nowadays / Hot Honey Rag

Ladies and gentlemen, The Chicago Theater is proud to announce a first

The first time anywhere there's 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

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?

Fine, isn't it?

But nothing stays

In fifty years or so

It's gonna change, you know

But oh, it's Heaven nowadays

Okay, you babes of jazz

Let's pick up the pace

Let's make the parties longer

Let's make the skirts shorter

Let's all go to hell in a fast car

And keep it hot

And all that

Jazz
