Overture/All That Jazz
ANNOUNCER:
Welcome. Ladies and Gentlemen, you are about to see a story of
murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery,
and treachery - all those things we all hold near and dear to
our hearts. Thank you.
(Instrumental)
Velma:
Come on, Babe
Why don't we paint the town?
And All That Jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And All That Jazz.
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
but the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And All
That
Jazz!
[Dance break]
Slick your hair
And wear your buckle shoes
And All That Jazz!
I hear that father dip
Is gonna blow the blues
And All That Jazz
Hold on, hon
We're gonna bunny hug
I bought some Aspirin
Down at United Drug
In case you shake apart
And want a brand-new start
To do that -
