"I Can't Do It Alone" Lyrics

[VELMA (to Roxie)]
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 sistr 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.
They have to imagine
this with two people.
It's swell with two people.

First I'd...
Then she'd...
Then we'd...
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,"
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...

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.
Cause you ain't seen nothin' yet!"

But I simply cannot do it alone!

So what do you think? Come on, you can say.

I know you're right. The first part is shit.
But the second part, the second part is really nifty.
OK

She go...(See, get it, right?)
I go...(Then I'd kick really high...)
We go...
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
You may see there's nothin' to it
But I simply cannot do it
Alone!

Like other girls is Mulan and the Richard
And the Mark is that Richard
Love is like another is heart!
But we simply
Cannot
Do it... alone!!
