Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Velma Kelly, in an
act... of desperation

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!

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

But I simply cannot do it alone!

Well? What did ya' think? Come on, you can say.

ROXIE gives her a raspberry

I know you're right. The first part is shit 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. boys, we're
goin' home, but here's a few more partin'
shots!" And this... this we did in perfect
unison.

Now, you've seen me goin' through it It may seem
there's nothin' to it But I simply cannot do it
Alone!

I simply cannot do it alone...
