Maybe this time, I'll be lucky Maybe this time, he'll stay Maybe this time For the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time And the time before Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me; 'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,' That's what I long to be All the odds are in my favor Something's bound to begin It's got to happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win

Nowadays 02:38
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 livin' 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 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 livin' 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

Could be! Who knows? There's something due any day; I will know right away, Soon as it shows. It may come cannonballing down through the sky, Gleam in its eye, Bright as a rose! Who knows? It's only just out of reach, Down the block, on a beach, Under a tree. I got a feeling there's a miracle due, Gonna come true, Coming to me! Could it be? Yes, it could. Something's coming, something good, If I can wait! Something's coming, I don't know what it is, But it is Gonna be great! With a click, with a shock, Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, Open the latch! Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon; Catch the moon, One-handed catch! Around the corner, Or whistling down the river, Come on, deliver To me! Will it be? Yes, it will. Maybe just by holding still, It'll be there! Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy, Meet a guy, Pull up a chair! The air is humming, And something great is coming! Who knows? It's only just out of reach, Down the block, on a beach, Maybe tonight . . .

I Move On 03:07
[VELMA] While truckin' down the road of life, although all hope seems gone, I just move on. [ROXIE] When I can't find a single star to hang my wish upon, I just move on, I move on. [VELMA] I run so fast, a shotgun blast can hurt me not one bit. [ROXIE] I'm on my toes cause heaven knows a moving target's hard to hit. [VELMA & ROXIE] So as we play in life's ballet, we're not the dying swans, we just move on, we move on. [ROXIE] Just when it seems we're out of dreams, and things have got us down. [VELMA] We don't despair, we don't go there, we hang our bonnets out of town. [VELMA & ROXIE] So there's no doubt we're well cut out to run life's marathon, we just move on, we just move on. So fleet of foot, we can't stay put, we just move on. Yes, we move on!

At Paramount it's "Oh la la" The Warner Bros. "Cha cha cha" And L.B. Mayer loves his schmaltz So M.G.M. made the great waltz But the 20th Century Foxtrot It's precious - but precious, it's not hot To make the big boys hire me Please make that rhythm fiery Come on boys and girls - make me over In this factory where dreams can true Are you ready to make someone new You're the team that must teach me to do The 20th Century Fox Mambo Done the homework and I'll pass the test I'll do whatever my teachers suggest I can do it clothed or undressed The 20th Century Fox Mambo Make it up, shake it up Let the fantasies begin Here's the dope To get cast, change the past Make the light just right for Cin-emascope Take a gamble cuz it's safe to bet Mr. Zanick ain't seen nothin' yet When we're finished he'll never forget This 20th Century Fox (For fame - play the game - change your name -to the 20th Century Fox) Make it up - shake it up Make me feel like the main attraction Change the clothes, fix the nose And then 5,6,7,8 Action! (Action!) Now I'm blonde but I ain't so dumb (No) Hollywood will be under my thumb (Yes) I'll change partners until I become The 20th Century Fox Mambo!

Never met a man Quite like you Doing all you can Making my dreams come true You're strong and you're smart You've taken my heart And I'll give you the rest of me too You're the perfect man for me I love you I do Mm I love ya Never have I felt Quite like this Good about myself From my very first kiss I'm here when you call You've got it all And confidence like I never knew You're the perfect man for me I love you I do You've got the charm You simply disarm me every time As long as you drive I'm along for the ride Your way I said it before There won't be a door That's closed to us I'm putting all my trust in you Cause you, you'll always be true, Oh I never could have known This would be, Oh you and you alone, yeah Are all for me I know you're the best You've passed every test It's almost too good to be true You're the perfect man for me I love you I do You're the perfect man for me I love you I do
