Funny Honey Composer(s): John Kander; Fred Ebb
Announcer: For her first number, Miss Roxie Hart would like to sing a song of love and devotion dedicated to her dear husband Amos
Roxie: Sometimes I'm right Sometimes I'm wrong But he doesn't care He'll string along He loves me so That funny honey of mine!
Sometimes I'm down Sometimes I'm up But he follows 'round Like some droopy-eyed pup He loves me so That funny honey of mine!
He ain't no sheik That's no great physique Lord knows he ain't got the smarts
Oh, but look at that soul I tell you, that whole Is a whole lot greater Than the sum of his parts
And if you knew him like me I know you'd agree What if the world Slander my name? Why, he'd be right there Taking the blame
He loves me so And it all suits me fine That funny, sunny, honey Hubby of mine!
Amos: A man's got the right to protect his home and his loved ones, right? Fogarty: Of course, he has! Amos: Well, I come in from the garage, Officer, and I see him coming through the window With my wife Roxanne there, sleepin'... Like an angel...
Roxie: Amos: He loves me so ...an angel! That funny honey of mine!
Amos: I mean supposin', just supposin', he had violated her or somethin'...you know what I mean...violated?
Fogarty: I know what you mean...
Amos: ...or somethin' Think how terrible that would have been It's a good thing I came home from work on time, I'm tellin' ya that! I say I'm tellin' ya that!
Roxie: He loves me so That funny honey of mine!
Fogarty: Name of deceased... Fred Casely
Amos: Fred Casely How could he be a burglar? My wife knows him! He sold us our furniture!
Roxie: Lord knows he ain't got the smarts
Amos: She lied to me She told me he was a burglar
Fogarty: You mean he was dead when you got home?
Amos: She had him covered with a sheet and she's givin' me that cock and a bull story about this burglar, and I ought to say I did it 'cause I was sure to get off Burglar, huh!
Roxie: Amos: Now, he shot off his trap And I believed her! That cheap little tramp So, she I can't stand that sap was two-timing me, huh? Well, then, she can just swing for all I care Look at him go Boy, I'm down at the garage Rattin' on me working my butt off fourteen With just one more brain hours a day and she's up there What half-wit he'd be munchin' on God-damn bon-bons and jazzing This time she If they string me up pushed me too far I'll know who That little chiseler Brought the twine Boy, what a sap I was!
That scummy, crummy Dummy hubby of mine
