Razzle Dazzle
[BILLY FLYNN]
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 them and they'll never catch wise

[BILLY FLYNN, GIRLS, & BOTH]
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle, razzle dazzle them
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? (Roar, roar, 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 double whammy, daze and dizzy 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bamboozler
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'll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em and you've got a romance
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle (Give 'em the old razzle dazzle), razzle dazzle 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you've got no talents?
Razzle dazzle 'em (Razzle dazzle 'em)
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll make you a star
