"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?
Fun, 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!

[DANCE NUMBER]

[VELMA]
Me and Roxie would just like to say THANK YOU!

[ROXIE]
Believe us, we could not have done it without you!

[ROXIE & VELMA]
And all that Jazz! 1
