My Own Best Friend
Roxie:
There's only one person who can help you now, Roxie!
Velma:
There only one person you can count on now, Velma!
ANNOUNCER:
And now, Miss Roxie Hart and Miss Velma Kelly sing a song
of unrelenting determination and unmitigated ego.
Roxie:
One thing I know
Velma:
One thing I know
Roxie:
And I've always known
Velma:
And I've always known
Roxie:
I am my own
Velma:
I am my own
Roxie & Velma:
Best friend
Roxie:
Baby's alive
Velma:
Baby's alive
Roxie:
But baby's alone
Velma:
But baby's alone
Roxie:
And baby's her own
Velma:
And baby's her own
Roxie & Velma:
Best friend
Many's the guy
Who told me he cares
But they were scratchin' my back
'Cause I was scratchin' theirs
Roxie:
And trusting to luck
Velma:
And trusting to luck
Roxie:
That's only for fools
Velma:
Only for fools
Roxie:
I play in a game
Velma:
I play in a game
Roxie & Velma:
Where I make the rules
And rule number one
From here to the end
Is 'I am my own best friend'
Three musketees
Who never say die
Are standing here this minute
Velma:
Me
Roxie:
Me
Velma:
Myself
Roxie:
Myself
Velma:
And I!
Roxie:
And I!
Velma & Roxie:
If life is a school
I'll pass every test
If life is a game
I'll play it the best
'Cause I won't give in
and I'll never bend
and I am my own best friend!
