I Can t Do It Alone lyrics
(announcer) Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Velma Kelley in and act--of desperation.
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 thou 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.
(spoken) Watch this.Now you have to imagine it with two people-- it s swell with two people.
First I d--(music while she dances)
Then she d--(music while she dances)
Then we d--(music while she dances)
But I can t do it alone.
Then she d--(music while she dances)
Then I d--(music while she dances)
Then we d--(music while she dances)
But I can t do it alone.
She d say,"What s your sister like?"
I d say "Man..."
She d say "You re the cat s meow!"
Then we d wow the crowd again
When she d go--(music while she dances)
I d go--(music while she dances)
We d go--(music while she dances)
Then those ding-dong daddies started a roar!
Whistles, stomped, stamped on the floor,
yellin , screamin begging for more--
And we d say Ok fellas, keep your socks up,
cause you ain t seen nothin yet."
But I simply cannot do it alone!
(spoken) So what do you think, huh?
Come on, you can say it...
(Roxie blows raspberry)
(spoken) I know you re right, the first part s s**t,
but the second part--the second part is really nifty!
(sighs) Ok,
She d go--(music while she dances)
I d go--(music while she dances)
We d go--(music while she dances)
And then those two-bit Johnnys dug in the ground
to cheer the best attraction in town.
[They] Nearly tore the balcony down!!
And we d say "OK fellas, we re going home, but before we go,
here s a few more pardon shots!"
And this, this we did in perfect unison!--(music while she dances)
You see me goin through it,
You may think there s nothin to it,
But I simply cannot do it alone!
