Hocus Pocus
Billy, I'm scared.
Roxie don't worry. It's a circus. One big circus.
The process, the whole world, all showbiz.
But you work with the biggest star of all, you know that?
It will be like old times, hocus pocus, and pilate pass.
Just shout those old magic spells again,
look at the jury and screw them up again.
Simsalabim, do those too and they are like wax.
Truth is beautifully veiled by such a sentence.
Trick them skillfully.
Your magic act can last hours .
Hocus pocus and you capture everyone.
It will be hocus pocus as usual.
ENSEMBLE
And Pilate pass.
BILLY & ENSEMBLE
Give them a show that is truly fantastic,
although the undertone is sarcastic.
BILLY & ENSEMBLE
One top hat full of rabbits...
ENSEMBLE
always comes in handy.
No one is averse to clever tricks, right?
ENSEMBLE
Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!
BILLY & ENSEMBLE
Truth, no one wants to know.
Look how they eat from my hand...
again!
Hocus pocus and... />BILLY & ENSEMBLE
the entire jury shouts: Bis!
ENSEMBLE
It will be hocus pocus as usual and enchant them.
Show them again, brazenly and recklessly, ancient tricks from the bag of tricks.
Give them a beautiful circus act and conquer them.
Enter the slopes with bravado and dance.
No one wants to know the truth anymore,
manslaughter and murder are so forgotten.
Hocus pocus and everyone is in a trance.
BILLY & ENSEMBLE
It's just like old times hocus pocus and pilatus
A little trickery and deception
always works wonders in a lawsuit.
BILLY & ENSEMBLE
It will be shine and glitter as usual, everything first class
Because with the art of magic you can go far.
ENSEMBLE
You distract them by talking softly.
This way you can nicely disguise crime.
Choose your focus, girl!
ENSEMBLE
Do that too, girl!
Hocus pocus, girl!
BILLY & ENSEMBLE
And then you become a star!
