Ladys and gentlemans, miss velma kelly in the act of desperation

My sister and I had an act that couldn't flop

My sister and I were headed straight fo the top

My sister and I earned a thou a week at least

Oh, sure!

But my sistr is now, unfortunately, deceased

I know it's sad, of course

But a fact is still a fact

And now all that remains

Is the remains

Of a perfect double act!

Watch this

Now you have to imagine

This with two people

It's swell with two people

First I'd

Then she'd

Then we'd

But I can't do it alone!

Then she'd

Then I'd

Then we'

But I can't do it alone!

She'd say: What's your sister like?

I'd say, men

Tarãk, tah!

She'd say: You're the cat's meow

Then we'd wow the crowd again

When she'd go

I'd go

We'd go

And then those ding-dong daddies started to roar

Whistled, stomped and stamped on the floor

Yelling, sreaming, begging for more

And we'd say: O.K. fellas, keep your socks up

You ain't seen nothin' yet!

But I simply can't I do it alone!

What did ya' think, ah? Come on, you can say

Blshh!!

I know, you're wright

First part is cheat, but the second part

The second part is really nifty, o. K.!

She'd go

I'd go

We'd go!

And then those two-bit johnnies did it up brown

To cheer the best attraction in town

They nearly tore the balcony down

And we'd say: O.K. boys, o. K

We're goin' home, but here's a few more partin' shots!

And this, this we did in perfect unison

Now, you've seen me goin' through it

It may seem there's nothin' to it

But I simply cannot do it

Alone!
