Mr. Billy Flynn and the press conference rag
Notice how his mouth never moves
Almost
Where'd you come from? Mississippi
And your parents? Very wealthy
Where are they now? Six feet under
But she was granted one more start
The convent of the Sacred Heart
When'd you get here? 1920
How old were you? Don't remember
Then what happened? I met Amos
And he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day
Oh, you poor dear, I cant believe what you've been through
A convent girl, a run-away marriage
Now tell us, Roxie
Who's Fred Casely? My ex-boyfriend
Why'd you shoot him? I was leavin'
Was he angry? Like a madman
Still I said, "Fred, move along"
She knew that she was doing wrong
Then describe it, he came toward me
With the pistol, from my bureau
Did you fight him? Like a tiger
He had strength and she had none
And yet we both reached for the gun
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, we both
Oh, yes, we both, oh, yes, we both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh, yes, we both reached for the gun, for the gun
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes they both
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh, yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun
Understandable, understandable
Yes, it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible
How're you feeling? Very frightened
Are you sorry? Are you kidding?
What's your statement? All I'd say is
Though my choo-choo jumped the track
I'd give my life to bring him back
And, stay away from
What? Jazz and liquor
And, and the men who
What? Play for fun
And what? That's the thought that
Yeah, came upon me
When? When we both reached for the gun
Understandable, understandable
Yes, it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for
(Let me hear it) the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh, yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun
(A little louder)
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for (oh yeah)
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh, yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun
(Now you got it)
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh, yes, they both reached for the gun, for the gun
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
(Both reached for the gun)
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Both reached for the gun
