(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! |
