Song by Catherine Zeta-Jones / Taye Diggs<br /><br>

Announcer (spoken)<br>

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Velma Kelly in an act of desperation.<br>

<br>

Velma (sings)<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 though a week, at least, oh yeah!<br>

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

I know it's sad of course, but a fact, is still a fact!<br>

And now all that remains, is the remains, of a perfect-double-act!<br>

<br>

Velma (spoken)<br>

Watch this!<br>

We have to imagine it with two people-it's swell with two people!<br>

<br>

Velma (sings)<br>

First I'd...<br>

Then she'd...<br>

Then we'd...<br>

But I can't do it alone!<br>

<br>

Then she'd...<br>

Then I'd...<br>

Then we'd...<br>

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>

And we'd wow the crowd again!<br>

<br>

When she'd go...<br>

I'd go...<br>

We'd go...<br>

Then those ding-dong daddies started a roar, whistled, stomped, banged on the floor, yelling, screaming, begging for<br>

moooooore...!<br>

And we'd say,"Ok, fellas, keep your socks up-'cause you ain't seen NOTHING yet!"<br>

But I simply cannot do it...aaaloooooone...!<br>

<br>

Velma (spoken)<br>

So what do you think, huh? Come on... you can say.<br>

<br>

Roxie (spits her tongue at her) <br>

Prrrt...!<br>

<br>

Velma (spoken)<br>

I know, you're right, the first part's shit. But the second part? The second part is REALLY nifty!<br>

Ok!<br>

<br>

Velma (sings)<br>

She'd go...<br>

I'd go...<br>

We'd go...<br>

And then those two-bit Johnnys did it up brown, to cheer the best attraction in town, they nearly tore the balcony<br>

doooooown...!<br>

And we'd say, "Ok, boys, we're going home! But before we go, there's a few more parting shots! And this, this, we did in<br>

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...aloooooone...!<br>

<br>
