Chicago (english) musical met het nummer: I CAN'T DO IT ALONE ANNOUNCER Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Velma Kelly in an act of desperation. VELMA 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 But my sister is now, unfortunately, deceased SongtexteI 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! You have to imagine this with two people. It's swell with two people. First I.... Then she.. Then we... But I can't do it alone! Then she... Then I... Then we... 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, screaming, begging for more. And we'd say, "O.K. fellas, keep your socks up. Cause you ain't seen nothing yet!" But I simply cannot do it alone. So what do you think? Come on, you can say. ROXIE Prrrt VELMA I know you're right.The first part shit But the second part was really nifty. Watch this! She'd go... I'd go... We'd go... And then those two-bit Johnnies did it up brow To cheer the best attraction in town They nearlly tore the balcony down 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 think there's nothin' to it But I simply cannot do it Alone! Aus Songtexte Mania
