Razzle Dazzle

by Michelle Ingrid Williams

on The Music of Fosse/Verdon: Episode 7 (2019), The Music of Fosse/Verdon - Original Television Soundtrack (2019)

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 are all 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
Razzle dazzle 'em
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll make you a star
