Razzle Dazzle (Chicago)
(singing)
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead 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

Billy and Company
Razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous

Billy
Row after row will crow vociferous

Billy and Company
Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture 'em

Billy
How can they hear the truth above the roar?

Billy and Company
Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel

Billy
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!

Billy and Company
Give 'em the old double whammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance

Though you are stiffer than a girder
They let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

Billy and Company
Give 'em the old
Razzle dazzle

Billy
Razzle dazzle 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are

Billy and Company
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you got no talents?

Billy
Razzle dazzle 'em

Company
Razzle dazzle 'em

Billy
Razzle dazzle 'em

Billy and Company
And they'll make you a star!
