Il testo della Nowadays

Roxie:
...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 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...

Announcer:
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!

Roxie and velma:
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

Announcer
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!
