When Velma Takes The Stand Lyrics

When Velma Takes The Stand lyrics

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!
