"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]

- [ROXIE]
- Believe us, we could not have done it without you!
- [ROXIE & VELMA]
- And all that Jazz!
