Chicago - I Can't Do It Alone Lyrics

(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 your the cats meow
then we'd wow the crowd again
when she'd go
I'd go
we'd go
then those ding song daddys started to roar
whistled, stomped, stamped on the floor,
yelling, screaming, begging for more,
and we'd say ok fellows, keep your socks up,
cause you ain't seen nothing yet
but I simply cannot do it alone,
so what'd ya think huh?
come on you can say

(roxie blows a rasberry)
(velma)
I know you're right the first part is s***
but the second, the second part is really nifty, ok
she'd go
I'd go
we'd go
then those two-bit johnny's did it proud
to cheer the best attraction in town
they nearly tore the balcony down,
and we'd ok boys we're going home,
but before we go heres a few more part in shots,
and this, this we did in perfect unison
no you see me going through it
you may think there's nothing to it
but I simply cannot do it... alone(hold note)
