I Can't Do It Alone
Ladies and gentleman
Miss Velma Kelly in an act of desperation
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 sister 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
Watch this!
Now you have to imagine it with two people
It's swell with two people
First I, then she, 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 cats 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, stamped on the floor
Yelling, screaming, begging for more
And we'd say, okay fellas, keep your socks up
'Cause you ain't seen nothing yet
But I simply cannot do it alone
So what'd ya think, huh?
Come on, you can say
I know, you're right, the first part's shit
But the second part, the second part is really nifty
Okay
She'd go, I'd go, we'd go
And then those two-bit Johnny's did it up brown
To cheer the best attraction in town
They nearly tore the balcony down
And we'd say, okay boys, we going home
But before we go, here's a few more partin' shots
And this, this we did in perfect unison
Now, you've see me going through it
You may think there's nothing to it
But I simply cannot do it alone
