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 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!

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!"

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...
