SONG: Razzle Dazzle
ARTIST: John Kander and Fred
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!
