Ladies and gentleman, 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… oh, yeah.
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! Now, you have to imagine it with two people. It’s swell with two people.
First I’d…
Then she’d…
Then we’d…
But I can’t do it alone.
Then she’d…
Then I’d…
Then we’d…
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, stamped on the floor.
Yelling, screamin’, beggin’ for more.
And we’d say “ok, fellas, keep your socks up, ’cause you ain’t seen nothin’ yet”.
But I simply cannot do it alone.
So what’d you think ? Come on, you can say.
I know, you’re right, the first part’s shit. But the second part, the second part is really nifty. Ok.
She’d go…
I’d go…
We’d go…
And then those two-bit Johnnys did it up brown.
To cheer the best attraction in town.
They nearly tore the balcony down.
And we’d say “ok boys, we’re goin’ home. But before we go, here’s a few more partin’ shots”. And this, this we did in perfect unison.
Now you see me going through it.
You may think there’s nothing to it.
But I simply cannot do it.
Alone.
