Nowadays Songtext
von Ann Reinking & Bebe Neuwirth

Gone, it′s all gone

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?

Ladies and Gentlemen
The Vicar's Theatre
Chicago′s finest home of
Family entertainment 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
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 ya′ 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, ya' know
But - oh - it′s heaven
Nowadays

(Whistling)

Wah wah
Wah wah wah wah wah
Wah wah
Wah wah wah wah wah
Wah wah
Wah wah wah wah wah

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, ya' know
But - oh! It′s heaven
Nowadays
