Chicago - When Velma Takes The Stand - Текст песни

Velma: 
Billy, I been thinkin' a lot about my trial. Couldn't I just 
show you what I thought I might do on the witness stand? 

Billy: 
Go ahead...

Velma: 
Good! Hit it! 
Well then, when I got on the stand I thought I'd take a peek at the jury. 
Then I'd cross my legs like this, you know. 

Quartette: 
When Velma takes the stand 

Velma: 
Then, when Harrison cross examines me, I thought I'd give 'em 
this...and then if he yells at me I thought I'd tremble like 
this..."ooh, no, please stop!" 

Quartette: 
When Velma takes the stand 
Look at little Vel 
See her give 'em hell 
When she turns it on 
Ain't she doin' grand? 
She's got 'em eating out of the palm of her hand! 

Velma: 
Then, I thought I'd let it all be too much for me, like real dramatic. 
Then, I thought I'd get thirsty and say, 
"Please, someone, could I have a glass of water?" 

Quartette:: 
When Velma takes the stand 
See that Kelly girl 
Make that jury whirl 
When she turns it on 
She's gonna get 'em goin' 
'Till she's got 'em gone 

Velma: 
Ah! Ah! Ah! Then, I thought I'd cry. Buckets. Only I don't 
have handkerchief - that's when I have to ask you for yours! 
I really like that part. Don't you? Then, I get up and try to 
walk; oh, but I'm too weak, and I slump and I slump and I 
slump and I slump until finally, I faint! 

Quartette: 
When she rolls her eyes 
Watch her take the prize 
When Velma takes the stand! 
When Velma takes the stand!
