SONG: Razzle Dazzle
ARTIST: John Kander and Fred Ebb
From the musical, Chicago
- /
Give em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle em
-
Give em act with lots of flash in it
- -
And the reaction will be passionate
/-- --
Give em the old hocus pocus
Bread and feather em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
/
What if your hinges all are rusting?
/
What if, in fact, you re just disgusting ?
Razzle dazzle em
And they ll never catch wise!
-- -- --
-- -- --
-
Give em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle em
-
Give em a show that s so splendiferous
- -
Row after row will grow vociferous
-
Give em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture em
How can they hear the truth above the roar?
Throw em a fake and a finagle
They ll never know you re just a bagel,
Razzle dazzle em
And they ll beg you for more!
-- --
- / -- --
/ - - /
Give em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle em
--
Back since the days of old Methuselah
- -
Everyone loves the big bamboozala
Give em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger em
When you re in trouble, go into your dance
(b5)
Though you are stiffer than a girder
/ / /
They ll let ya get away with a murder
Razzle dazzle em
And you ve got a romance
/ - - /
Give em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle em
--
Give em an act that s unassailable
- -
They ll wait a year til your available!
Give em the old double whammy
Daze and dizzy em
Show em the first rate sorcerer you are
(b5)
Long as you keep em way off balance
/ / /
How can they spot you got no talents?
/
Razzle dazzle em
/
Razzle dazzle em
Razzle dazzle em
And they ll make you a star!
