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!
