[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 b**bs, 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?

Oh hell, I'll get two boys. It'll frame me better.
