I Can't Do It Alone

(announcer) ladies and gentleman

miss velma kelly in an act of desperation

(velma kelly)

my sister and i had an act that couldn't flop,

my sister and i were headed straight for the top,

my sister and earned a 'thou' a week at least, oh yea

but my sister is now unfortunately deceased,

i know its 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 it with two people,

its 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'd

but i can't do it alone

she'd say what's your sister like

i'd say men,

she'd say you're the cats meow

then we'd wow the crowd again

When she'd go

i'd go

we'd go

then those ding dong daddies started to roar

whistled, stomped, stamped on the floor,

yelling, screaming, begging for more,

and we'd say

ok fellas, keep your socks on,

cause you ain't seen nothing yet

(instrumental)

but i simply cannot do it alone

so what'd ya think huh?

come on you can say

(roxie blows a raspberry)

(velma)

i know you're right the first part is shit.

but the second part, the second part is really nifty,

(takes a deep breath) ok

she'd go

i'd go

we'd

then those two-bit johnny's did it around

to cheer the best attraction in town

they nearly tore the balcony down,

and we'd say :ok boys we're going home,

but before we go here's a few more partin' shots,

and this, this we did in perfect unison

(instrumental)

now you see me going through it

you make think there's nothing to it

but i simply cannot do it... alone(hold note)
