I Can't Do It Alone (from "Chicago")
Announcer (Spoken)
Ladies And Gentlemen, Miss Velma Kelly In An Act Of Desperation.
Velma (Sings)
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 Though 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!
Velma (Spoken)
Watch This!
We Have To Imagine It With Two People-It's Swell With Two People!

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!
And We'd Wow The Crowd Again!
When She'd Go...
I'd Go...
We'd Go...
Then Those Ding-Dong Daddies Started A Roar, Whistled,
Stomped, Banged On The Floor, Yelling, Screaming, Begging For
Moooooore...!
And We'd Say, Ok, Fellas,
Keep Your Socks Up-'Cause You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!
But I Simply Cannot Do It... Aaaloooooone...!
Velma (Spoken)
So What Do You Think, Huh? Come On... You Can Say.
Roxie (Spits Her Tongue At Her)
Prrrt...!
Velma (Spoken)
I Know, You're Right, The First Part's Shit.
But The Second Part? The Second Part Is Really Nifty!
Ok!
Velma (Sings)
She'd Go...
I'd Go...
