Overture/And All That Jazz Lyrics

[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

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
I case you shake apart
And want a brand new start
To do that-

[VELMA AND COMPANY]
Jazz

[COMPANY]
Skidoo!

[VELMA]
And all that Jazz

[COMPANY]
Hotcha!
Whoopee!

[VELMA]
And all that Jazz

[COMPANY]
Ha! Ha! Ha!

It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl

[ALL]
And all that jazz

[CASELY (spoken)]
Listen, your husband ain't home, is he?

[VELMA (Spoken)]
No, her husband is not at home.

Find a flask
We're playing fast and loose

[ALL]
And all that jazz

[VELMA]
Right up here
Is where I store the juice

[ALL]
And all that jazz

[VELMA]
Come on, babe
We're gonna brush the sky
I bet you luck Lindy
Never flew so high
'Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
to all that Jazz?

[COMPANY]
Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

[VELMA]
And all that jazz

[COMPANY]
Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

[VELMA]
And all that jazz

[COMPANY]
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle
If she'd hear her baby's queer
For all that jazz

[VELMA]
And All that jazz
Come on, babe
Why Don't we paint
The town?
And all that jazz

[COMPANY]
Oh, you're gonna see
Your
Sheba
Shimmy shake
And all that jazz

[VELMA]
I'm gonna
Rouge my knees
And roll my
Stockings down
And all that jazz

[COMPANY]
Oh
She's gonna shimmy
'Till her garters
Break
And all that jazz

[VELMA]
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

[COMPANY]
Show her where to
Park her girdle
Oh, her mother's blood'd
Curdle
If she'd hear
Her baby's queer
For all that jazz

[ROXIE (Spoken)]
So that's it, huh Fred?

[CASELY (Spoken)]
yeah, I'm afraid so, Roxie.

[ROXIE (Spoken)]
Oh, Fred...

[GIRLS (Spoken)]
Oh, Fred...

[CASELY (Spoken)]
Yeah?

[ROXIE (Spoken)]
Nobody walks out on me.

[CASELY (Spoken)]
Sweetheart-

[ROXIE (Spoken)]
Oh, don't "sweetheart" me,
you son-of-a-bitch!

[COMPANY]
Hotcha!
Whoopee!
Jazz!

[ROXIE (Spoken)]
Oh, I gotta pee!

[VELMA]
No, I'm no one's wife
But, Oh, I love my life
And all that Jazz!

[COMPANY]
That Jazz!

What is the Meaning of Overture/And All That Jazz?

This lively track captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, a period known for its decadence, freedom and rebellion. The lyrics convey an image of vibrant nightlife, with references to dancing, drinking and indulgence. It also subtly hints at the societal changes of the time, such as loosening moral standards and women's increased independence. The song's energetic rhythm and catchy chorus serve to create a carefree atmosphere that mirrors the era it represents. However, beneath this joyous exterior lies a darker undertone that suggests potential consequences of such reckless behavior. In sum, this piece is not just a celebration of Jazz Age hedonism but also a commentary on its complexities. #RoaringTwenties #JazzAge #SocietalChange
