Pelicula – Catherine zeta-jones / taye diggs – i can´t do it alone
[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!
[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, «OK fellas, keep your socks up
you ain´t seen nothin´ yet!»
[VELMA dances]
But I simply cannot do it alone!
Well? What did ya? think? Come on, you can say
[ROXIE gives her a raspberry]
OK, OK 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 «OK fellas, OK,
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
