And now, testifying for the defense
Miss Evelyn Nesbit!
Hello, gentlemen!
Whee!
La la la la
La la la la la
Whee!
La la la la
La la la la la
Your honor
I was once the lady friend of Stanford White
He's the famous architect!
Yes, that's right!
He put me on a velvet swing
And made me wear... well... hardly anything!
Ruined at the age of fifteen!
Your honor
Then I went a married Mr. Harry Thaw
Eccentric millionaire!
Oh! Oh!
Harry's a jealous man
Bang! Bang!
That was the end of Stan!
Boo hoo!
Your honor, be fair!
My Harry went crazy, I swear!
La la
La la la
Now it's the
Crime of the Century!
Crime of the Century!
Giving the world a thrill!
Harry's in trouble
And Stanny's in heaven
And Evelyn is in Vaudeville!
The Crime of the Century!
Crime of the Century!
All for a youthful fling
Fortune, fame
And a ruined name!
And now I'm the girl on the swing!
Whee!
Mother's Younger Brother was in love with Evelyn Nesbit
From his regular seat in the front row of the second balcony
He would lean far over the railing
Hoping his goddess would notice him
One night he almost he almost fell
Evelyn caught sight of him and smiled
Life was suddenly wonderful and full of delicious possibilities!
Oh! Oh!
Harry must not be hung!
Bang! Bang!
Let's have that verdict sung!
Boo hoo!
Your honor we find
That Harry's not guilty
My Harry's not guilty!
'Cause Harry is out of his mind!
And it's the Crime of the Century
Crime of the Century
Making the world go "whee"!
Harry's in trouble
And Stanny's in heaven
And Evelyn gets publicity!
The Crime of the Century!
Crime of the Century!
Not such an awful thing
Stanny's killed
But my mother's thrilled
'Cause now I'm the girl on the
Now she's the girl on the
Now I'm the girl
On the swing!
Whee!
