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
Watch this
Now you have to imagine it with two people
— it's 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 "Man..."
She'd say "You're the cat's meow!"
Then we'd wow the crowd again
When she'd go--
I’d go—
We'd go—
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!
So what do you think, huh?
Come on, you can say it...
(Roxie blows raspberry) (Roxie
I know you're right
the first part's s**t
But the second part
the second part is really nifty!
Ok
She'd go—
I’d go—
We'd go—
And then those two-bit Johnnys dug in the ground
To cheer the best attraction in town
Nearly tore the balcony down!!
And we'd say
"OK fellas, we're going home, but before we go— “
Here's a few more parting shots!"
And this, this we did in perfect unison!—
You see me goin' through it
You may think there's nothin' to it
But I simply cannot do it alone!
