[VELMA (to Roxie)]
My sister and I had an act that couldn't flop
My sister and I were headed straight fo the top
My sister and I earned a thou a week at least
Oh, sure!
But my sister is now, unfortunately, deceased

Oh, 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!

[spoken]
Roxie, do you know you are exactly the same
size as my sister? Oh, you would fit in her wardrobe
perfectly. Look, why don't I just show you some of
the act, huh? Watch this.

[VELMA dances]

Now you have to imagine
this with two people.
It's swell with two people.

First I'd...(drums!)
Then she'd...(saxophone!)
Then we'd...(together!)
But I can't do it alone!
Then she'd...
Then I'd...
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...

And then those ding-dong daddies started to roar
Whistled, stomped and stamped on the floor
Yelling, screaming, begging for more.

[spoken]
And we'd say, "O.K. fellas, keep your socks up.
Cos you ain't seen nothin' yet!"

[VELMA dances]

But I simply cannot do it alone!

Well? What did ya' think? Come on, you can say.

[ROXIE gives her a raspberry]
I know your right, the first part's s___,
But the second part, the second part is REALLY nifty

Then she'd go...
Then I'd go...
Then we'd go...
And then those two-bit Johnnies did it up brown
To cheer the best attraction in town
They nearly tore the balcony down

[spoken]
And we'd say. "O.K. boys, O.K.,
we're goin' home, but before we go,
heres a few more parting shots!"
And this... this we did in perfect unison.

[VELMA dances]

Now, you've seen me goin' through it
It may seem there's nothin' to it
But I simply cannot do it
Alone!

Now you've seen me go re-write this
The last bird who had tried this
had completely f___ed it
UUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
