I Can't Do It Alone Lyrics

Chicago The Musical I Can't Do It Alone

(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 unfortuntly 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 men
She'd say you're the cats meow
Then we'd wow the crowd again
When she'd go
I'd go
We'd go
Then those ding dong daddies 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 part, the second part is really nifty, ok
She'd go
I'd go
We'd go
Then those two-bit johnny's did it aproud
To cheer the best attraction in town
They nearly tore the balcony down,
And we'd say ok boys we're going home,
But before we go here's a few more partin' shots,
And this, this we did in perfect unison
Now you see me going through it
You make think there's nothing to it
But i simply cannot do it... alone(hold note)
