Nowadays (Roxie) Lyrics by Renée Zellweger
MC
Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Roxie Hart says goodnight
ROXIE
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, isn’t it?
But nothing stays
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?
MAN, spoken
That’s great, we’ll be in touch
