My own best friend Songtext

VELMA

There only one person you can count on now, Velma!







ANNOUNCER

And now, Miss Roxie Hart and Miss Velma Kelly sing a song

of unrelenting determination and unmitigated ego.



ROXIE
One thing I know



VELMA

One thing I know



ROXIE

And I've always known



VELMA

And I've always known



ROXIE

I am my own



VELMA

I am my own



ROXIE & VELMA

Best friend



ROXIE

Baby's alive



VELMA

Baby's alive



ROXIE

But baby's alone



VELMA

But baby's alone



ROXIE

And baby's her own



VELMA

And baby's her own



ROXIE & VELMA

Best friend

Many's the guy

Who told me he cares

But they were scratchin' my back

'Cause I was scratchin' theirs



ROXIE

And trusting to luck



VELMA

And trusting to luck



ROXIE

That's only for fools



VELMA

Only for fools



ROXIE

I play in a game



VELMA

I play in a game



ROXIE & VELMA

Where I make the rules

And rule number one

From here to the end

Is 'I am my own best friend'

Three musketees

Who never say die

Are standing here this minute



VELMA

Me



ROXIE

Me



VELMA

Myself



ROXIE

Myself



VELMA

And I!



ROXIE

And I!



VELMA & ROXIE

If life is a school

I'll pass every test

If life is a game

I'll play it the best

'Cause I won't give in

and I'll never bend

and I am my own best friend!
