[velma (to roxie)]
2
My sister and I had an act that couldn't flop
3
My sister and I were headed straight fo the top
4
My sister and I earned a thou a week at least
5
Oh, sure!
6
But my sistr is now, unfortunately, deceased
7
Oh, I know it's sad, of course
8
But a fact is still a fact
9
And now all that remains
10
Is the remains
11
Of a perfect double act!
12
[spoken]
13
Roxie, do you know you are exactly the same
14
Size as my sister? oh, you would fit in her wardrobe
15
Perfectly. look, why don't I just show you some of
16
The act, huh? watch this.
17
[velma dances]
18
Now you have to imagine
19
This with two people.
20
It's swell with two people.
21
First i'd...(drums!)
22
Then she'd...(saxophone!)
23
Then we'd...(together!)
24
But I can't do it alone!
25
Then she'd...
26
Then i'd...
27
Then we'...
28
But I can't do it alone!
29
She'd say,"what's your sister like? "
30
I'd say, "men,"
31
Yuk, yuk, yuk
32
She'd say, "you're the cat's meow"
33
Then we'd wow the crowd again
34
When she'd go...
35
I'd go...
36
We'd go...
37
And then those ding-dong daddies started to roar
38
Whistled, stomped and stamped on the floor
39
Yelling, sreaming, begging for more.
40
[spoken]
41
And we'd say, "o.k. fellas, keep your socks up.
42
You ain't seen nothin' yet!"
43
[velma dances]
44
But I simply cannot do it alone!
45
Well? what did ya' think? come on, you can say.
46
[roxie gives her a raspberry]
47
O.k., o.k. the first part can always be rewritten.
48
But the second part was really nifty. watch this.
49
Then she'd...(see, get it, right? )
50
Then i'd...(then I'd kick really high...)
51
Then we'd...
52
But I can't do it alone!
53
She'd say, "what state's chicago in? "
54
I'd say, "ill!"
55
Did ya' get that?
56
She'd say, "turn your motor off"
57
I can hear 'em cheerin' still
58
When she'd go...
59
I'd go...
60
We'd go...(sideways!)
61
And then those two-bit johnnies did it up brown
62
To cheer the best attraction in town
63
They nearly tore the balcony down
64
[spoken]
65
And we'd say. "o.k. fellas, o.k.,
66
We're goin' home, but here's a few more partin' shots!"
67
And this... this we did in perfect unison.
68
[velma dances]
69
Now, you've seen me goin' through it
70
It may seem there's nothin' to it
71
But I simply cannot do it
72
Alone!
73
[roxie turns her down]
74
Like the deserted bride on her wedding night
75
All alone and shaking with fright
76
With her brand new hubby nowhere in sight
77
I simply cannot do it alone...
