I Can't Do It Alone

Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
 Miss Velma Kelly in an 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 sure
 But my sister is now unfortunately deceased
 Oh 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
 Roxie do you know you are exactly the same size as my sister?
 Oh you would fit into her wardrobe perfectly
 Look, a-ha, why don't I just show you some of the act, huh?
 Watch this
 ♪
 Now you have to imagine this with two people
 It's swell with two people
 First I'd
 'Bada-bada-bada-bada-bada-bada-bada-bada'
 Drums
 Then she'd
 'Wah-wah-wah-wah wah-wah-wah-wah'
 Saxophone
 Then we'd
 'Bada-bada-bada wada wah-wah' together
 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!"
 Yuck yuck yuck!
 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
 ♪
 And then those ding dong daddies started to roar
 Whistled, stomped and stamped on the floor
 Yelling, screaming, begging for more
 And we'd say, "Ok fellas, keep your socks up
 You ain't seen nothing yet!"
 ♪
 But I simply cannot do it alone
 Well what'd ya think?
 Come on, look, you can say
 "Pfft!"
 Ok, ok, uh
 Well the first part can always be rewritten, yeah sure
 But the second part was really nifty
 Ok, watch this
 Then she'd
 ♪
 Then I'd
 See get it? Right? I kick really high
 Then we'd
 ♪
 But I can't do it alone
 She'd say, "What state's Chicago in?"
 I'd say, "ill!" Did you get that?
 She'd say, "Turn your motor off!"
 "Ring-ung-ung-ung"
 I can hear 'em cheerin' still
 When she'd go
 I'd go
 We'd go
 Sideways!
 And then those two-bit Johnnys did it aproud
 To cheer the best attraction in town
 They nearly tore the balcony down
 And we'd say "Ok fellas, ok we're going home
 But here's a few more partin' shots!"
 And this, oh, this we did in perfect unison
 Ch-ch-ch-ch
 Cymbals, crash-crash-crash
 Now you see me going through it
 You can see there's nothing to it
 But I simply cannot do it
 Alone!
