Durasi: 5:29
[00:00.82]Stop the presses!
[00:01.81]Convent girl hell!
[00:02.99]"We both reached for the gun," says Roxie!
[00:04.61]"Dancing feet leads to sorrow" says beautiful jazz slayer
[00:07.23]Roxie sobs, "I'd give anything to bring him back!"
[00:09.67]Jazz and liquor: Roxie's downfall
[00:13.25]I always wanted my name in the papers!
[00:16.92]Before Amos, I used to date this well-to-do ugly bootlegger
[00:21.42]He used to like to take me out and show me off
[00:24.98]Ugly guys like to do that
[00:27.69]Once it said in the paper
[00:30.00]"Gangland's Al Capelli seen with cute redheaded Corrine"
[00:34.13]That was me
[00:35.86]I clipped it out and saved it
[00:38.46]Look
[00:39.29]I'm gonna tell you the truth
[00:41.52]Not that the truth really matters
[00:44.58]But I'm gonna tell you anyway
[00:46.68]The thing is, see
[00:48.96]I'm older than I ever intended to be
[00:52.63]And all my life, i wanted to be a dancer in Vaudeville
[00:57.13]Ooh, yeah
[00:58.54]Have my own act
[01:00.97]But no, no, no
[01:04.05]They always turned me down
[01:07.29]It was one big world full of "no"
[01:11.68]Life
[01:13.33]Then Amos came along
[01:15.46]Sweet, safe Amos who never says no
[01:21.30]You know, some guys are like mirrors
[01:24.67]And when I catch myself in Amos's face
[01:28.18]I'm always a kid
[01:30.81]You could love a guy like that
[01:33.97]Look, now I gotta tell ya
[01:35.50]And I hope this ain't too crude
[01:38.05]In the bed department, Amos was -
[01:42.34]Zero
[01:44.05]I mean, when we went to bed
[01:46.17]He made love to me like he was -
[01:48.27]Fixing a carburetor or something!
[01:51.34]"I love ya, honey, I love ya"
[01:55.27]Anyway, to make a long story short
[01:57.87]I started fooling around
[02:00.88]Then Istarted screwing around
[02:03.93]Which is foolin' around without dinner
[02:07.63]I gave up the Vaudeville idea
[02:09.98]Because - well, after all those years
[02:12.76]You sort of figure opportunity's just passed you by
[02:15.82]Hoo, but it ain't
[02:17.77]Oh no, no, no, no, but it ain't!
[02:21.62]If this Flynn guy gets me off
[02:24.47]And with all this publicity
[02:26.90]Now I got me a world full of "yes"
[02:32.17]The name on everybody's lips
[02:35.93]Is gonna be Roxie
[02:39.56]The lady raking in the chips
[02:43.27]Is gonna be Roxie
[02:46.71]I'm gonna be a celebrity
[02:49.29]That means somebody everyone knows
[02:54.03]They're gonna recognize my eyes
[02:57.02]My hair, my teeth, my boobs, my nose
[03:05.17]From just some dumb mechanic's wife
[03:08.92]I'm gonna be Roxie
[03:12.33]Who says that murder's not an art?
[03:18.74]And who in case she doesn't hang
[03:22.63]Can say she started with a bang?
[03:28.39]Roxie Hart!
[03:34.59]I gotta get me some boys
[03:37.79]I'm gonna get me a whole bunch of boys!
[03:41.66]They're gonna wait outside in line
[03:45.16]To get to see
[03:46.93]Roxie
[03:48.74]Think of those autographs I'll sign
[03:52.64]"Good luck to ya"
[03:54.02]Roxie
[03:55.97]And I'll appear in a lavalier
[03:58.58]That goes all the way down to my waist
[04:02.70]Here a ring
[04:03.64]There a ring
[04:04.60]Everywhere a-ring-a-ling
[04:06.27]But always in the best of taste!
[04:09.56]Mm, I'm a star!
[04:14.87]And they love me
[04:15.87]And I love them
[04:17.23]And they love me for loving them
[04:18.81]And I love them for loving me
[04:21.23]And we love each other
[04:23.41]That's because none of us
[04:24.82]Got enough love in our childhood
[04:27.53]And that's showbiz, kid
[04:32.14]She's giving up her humdrum life
[04:35.84]I'm gonna be
[04:37.51]Roxie
[04:39.36]She made a scandal and a start
[04:45.68]And Sophie Tucker'll shit, I know (uh-huh)
