Miss velma kelly in an act of desperation


VELMA KELLY

6   6   6    6  7 7   7  -4  -4    6    6   4
My sis-ter and I had an act that could-n't flop

6   6   6   6  7  7     -4  -4   6      6   6  -6b
My sis-ter and I were head-ed straight for the top

-6b -6b -6b -6b -7  -7  -7  5   5  -6b -6b -6
My sis-ter and I earned a thou a week at least

-6b -6b 6   6   6   7  7 -4  -4  -4   6  6   4
But my sis-ter is now un-for-tu-nate-ly de-ceased

 5    7   7   7
It's sad of course 

7   7   7  -6b   6  -5b -6
But a fact is still a fact

6    -6b -6   -6  -6  -6  -6   6   6  -5b
And now all that re-mains is the re-mains

5  5  -5b -5b  -5b -6b 7
Of a per-fect dou-ble act


Watch this! (SPOKEN)
Now you have to imagine it with two people (SPOKEN)

-5b    4
First I'd

-5b    4
Then she'd

-5b    4
Then we'd

-5b -5b -5b -5b 5 -5b 5
But I can't do it a-lone

-5b    4
Then she'd

-5b   4
Then I'd

-5b    4
Then we'd

-5b -5b -5b -6b 5b 5 -4
But I can't do it a-lone

 5     -6   6     -6b  6   -6b 6
She'd say what's your sis-ter like

 4   -6b -5b -6    -6  -6b
I'd say men (yuk, yuk, yuk)

-5b    -7   -6    7    -7  7  -6
She'd say you're the cats me-ow

7     8    -6  -7   -6b  7  6
Then we'd wow the crowd a-gain

-6b   -5b   4
When she'd go

-5b  4
I'd go

-5b   4
We'd go

-4    5     5   -5b -5b -5b  -5b -5b 5  -5b -5b
And then those two bit John-ies did it up brown

5   -5b  -5b  -5b -5b -5b  5   -5b  -6
To cheer the best at-trac-tion in town

5     -5b -5b -5b  -5b -5b 5 -5b -7
They near-ly tore the bal-co-ny down


And we’d say, “O.K boys, we’re goin’ home (SPOKEN)


But before we go, here’s a few more parting shots” (SPOKEN)


And this we did in perfect unison (SPOKEN)

-6  -6b  -6  -6b -6 -6b -6    -6b
Now you seen me go-in through it

 6   -6b  -6    -6b     -6 -6b -6b -6b
You may think there’s noth-in to it

-6 -6b -6 -6b  -6  -6b -6 -6b -6 -7
But I sim-ply can-not do it a-lone
