Nowadays / Hot Honey Rag Songtext

von John Kander

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Chicago Theater is proud to announce a first.
The first time, anywhere there's 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!
Chicago's own killer dillers
Those 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

Okay, you babes of jazz. Let's pick up the pace.
Let's make the parties longer.
Let's make the skirts shorter.
Let's all go to hell in a fast car and KEEP IT HOT!

And all that Jazz!
