Nowadays

It's good

Isn't it grand? Isn't it great?

Isn't it swell? Isn't it fun?

Isn't it?

Nowadays

There's men

Everywhere jazz, everywhere booze

Everywhere life, everywhere joy

Everywhere

Nowadays

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?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Vickers theater

Chicago's finest home of family entertainment

Is proud to announce a first

The first time, anywhere there has 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, a double header!

Chicago's own killer, drillers those two 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 50 years or so

It's gonna change, you know, ha-ha

But oh, it's heaven
