Chicago Motion Picture Soundtrack - I Can't Do It Alone - Catherine Zeta-Jones lyrics

rate me

Ladies and gentlemen<br />

Miss Velma Kelly in an act of desperation<br />

<br />

My sister and I had an act that couldn't flop<br />

My sister and I were headed straight for the top<br />

My sister and I earned a thou a week, at least, oh yeah<br />

But my sister is now, unfortunately, deceased<br />

<br />

I know it's sad of course<br />

But a fact, is still a fact<br />

And now all that remains<br />

Is the remains of a perfect double act<br />

<br />

Watch this<br />

We have to imagine it with two people<br />

It's swell with two people<br />

<br />

First I'd, then she'd<br />

Then we'd but I can't do it alone<br />

Then she'd, then I'd<br />

Then we'd but I can't do it alone<br />

<br />

She'd say, "What's your sister like?"<br />

I'd say, "Men"<br />

She'd say, "You're the cat's meow"<br />

Then we'd wow the crowd again<br />

<br />

When she'd go, I'd go, we'd go<br />

<br />

Then those ding-dong daddies started a roar<br />

Whistled, stomped, stamped on the floor<br />

Yelling, screaming, begging for more<br />

<br />

And we'd say,"Okay, fellas, keep your socks up<br />

'Cause you ain't seen nothing yet"<br />

But I simply cannot do it alone<br />

<br />

So what do you think, huh?<br />

Come on, you can say<br />

<br />

I know, you're right, the first part's shit<br />

But the second part? The second part is really nifty<br />

Okay<br />

<br />

She'd go, I'd go, we'd go<br />

<br />

And then those two-bit Johnny's did it up brown<br />

To cheer the best attraction in town<br />

They nearly tore the balcony down<br />

<br />

And we'd say, "Okay boys, we're going home<br />

But before we go, here's a few more parting shots<br />

And this, this, we did in perfect unison"<br />

<br />

Now ya see me going through it<br />

You may think there's nothing to it<br />

But I simply cannot do it alone
