Lyrics
And now, Miss Roxie Hart and Miss Velma Kelly
Sing a song of unrelenting determination
And unmitigated ego
One thing I know
And I've always known (and I've always known)
I am my own (I am my own)
Best friend
Baby's alive (Oh, baby's alive)
But baby's alone (but baby's alone)
And baby's her own (and baby's her own)
Best friend
Many's the guy who told me he cares
But they were scratchin' my back
'Cause I was scratchin' theirs
And trustin' to luck (and trustin' to luck)
That's only for fools (that's only for fools)
I play in a game (I play in a game)
Where I make the rules (where I make the rules)
And rule number one
From here to the end
Is: I am my own best friend
Three musketeers (ah)
Who never say die (who never say die)
Are standing here this minute
Me! (Me)
Myself! (Myself)
And I (and I)
And I
If life is a school (ah)
I'll pass every test
If life is a game, ha ha ha
I'll play it the best
'Cause I won't give in
And I'll never bend
And I am my own
Best friend!
