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 man, 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, isn't it...

Ladies and gentlemen, the vickers theater, chicago's finest
Home of family and 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 dillers 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 fifty years or so
It's gonna change, you know
But, oh, it's heaven
Nowadays.

And that's

Okay, you babes of jazz. Let's pick up the pace
Let's shake the blues away. Let's make the parties
Longer. Let's make the skirts shorter and shorter
Let's make the music hotter. Let's all go to hell
In a fast car and keep it hot!
