I can't do it alone

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

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!
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!
