I Can T Do It Alone lyrics

Announcer (spoken)
Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Velma Kelly in an act of desperation.

Velma (sings)
My sister and I had an act that couldn`t flop.
My sister and I were headed straight for the top.
My sister and I earned a though a week, at least, oh yeah!
But my sister 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!

Velma (spoken)
Watch this!
We have to imagine it with two people-it`s swell with two people!

Velma (sings)
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 cat`s meow!`
And we`d wow the crowd again!

When she`d go...
I`d go...
We`d go...
Then those ding-dong daddies started a roar, whistled, stomped, banged on the floor, yelling, screaming, begging for
moooooore...!
And we`d say,`Ok, fellas, keep your socks up-`cause you ain`t seen NOTHING yet!`
But I simply cannot do it...aaaloooooone...!

Velma (spoken)
So what do you think, huh? Come on... you can say.

Roxie (spits her tongue at her)
Prrrt...!

Velma (spoken)
I know, you`re right, the first part`s shit. But the second part? The second part is REALLY nifty!
Ok!

Velma (sings)
She`d go...
I`d go...
We`d go...
And then those two-bit Johnnys did it up brown, to cheer the best attraction in town, they nearly tore the balcony
doooooown...!
And we`d say, `Ok, boys, we`re going home! But before we go, there`s a few more parting shots! And this, this, we did in
PERFECT UNISON!`

Now ya see me going through it!
You may think there`s nothing to it!
But I simply cannot do it...aloooooone...!
