歌词 | [VELMA (to Roxie)] My sister and I had an act that couldn´t flop My sister and I were headed straight fo the top My sister and I earned a thou a week at least Oh, sure! But my sistr 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! [spoken] Roxie, do you know you are exactly the same size as my sister? Oh, you would fit in her wardrobe perfectly. Look, why don´t I just show you some of the act, huh? Watch this. [VELMA dances] Now you have to imagine this with two people. It´s swell with two people. First I´d...(drums!) Then she´d...(saxophone!) Then we´d...(together!) But I can´t do it alone! Then she´d... Then I´d... Then we´... But I can´t do it alone! She´d say,"What´s your sister like?" I´d say, "Men," Yuk, Yuk, yuk 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, sreaming, begging for more. [spoken] And we´d say, "O.K. fellas, keep your socks up. you ain´t seen nothin´ yet!" [VELMA dances] But I simply cannot do it alone! Well? What did ya´ think? Come on, you can say. [ROXIE gives her a raspberry] O.K., O.K. The first part can always be rewritten. But the second part was really nifty. Watch this. Then she´d...(See, get it, right?) Then I´d...(Then I´d 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 ya´ get that? She´d say, "Turn your motor off" I can hear ´em cheerin´ still When she´d go... I´d go... We´d go...(Sideways!) And then those two-bit Johnnies did it up brown To cheer the best attraction in town They nearly tore the balcony down [spoken] And we´d say. "O.K. fellas, O.K., we´re goin´ home, but here´s a few more partin´ shots!" And this... this we did in perfect unison. [VELMA dances] Now, you´ve seen me goin´ through it It may seem there´s nothin´ to it But I simply cannot do it Alone! [ROXIE turns her down] Like the deserted bride on her wedding night All alone and shaking with fright With her brand new hubby nowhere in sight I simply cannot do it alone... |
