I can't do it alone Testo

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!
