Lyrics

[00:00.57] Mr. Billy Flynn and the press conference rag
[00:04.02] Notice how his mouth never moves
[00:06.03] Almost
[00:07.72] Where'd you come from
[00:09.43] Mississippi
[00:11.26] And your parents
[00:13.06] Very wealthy
[00:14.90] Where are they now
[00:16.64] Six feet under
[00:18.09] But she was granted one more start
[00:20.22] The Convent of The Sacred Heart
[00:22.10] When'd you get here
[00:23.91] Nineteen-twenty
[00:25.74] How old were you
[00:27.57] Don't remember
[00:29.45] Then what happened
[00:31.21] I met Amos
[00:32.80] And he stole my heart away
[00:34.62] Convinced me to elope one day
[00:36.69] A convent girl A runaway marriage
[00:39.88] Now tell us Roxie
[00:41.58] Oh you poor dear
[00:44.00] Who's Fred Casely
[00:45.76] My ex-boyfriend
[00:47.58] Why'd you shoot him
[00:49.42] I was leaving
[00:51.21] Was he angry
[00:52.94] Like a madman
[00:54.79] Still I said Fred move along
[00:56.54] She knew that she was doing wrong
[00:58.68] Then describe it
[01:00.26] He came toward me
[01:02.07] With the pistol
[01:03.90] From my bureau
[01:05.74] Did you fight him
[01:07.52] Like a tiger
[01:09.45] He had strength and she had none
[01:11.06] And yet we both reached for the gun
[01:12.94] Oh yes oh yes oh yes we both
[01:14.71] Oh yes we both oh yes we both reached for
[01:16.55] The gun the gun the gun the gun oh yes
[01:18.30] We both reached for the gun for the gun
[01:20.45] Oh yes oh yes oh yes they both
[01:22.09] Oh yes they both oh yes they both reached for
[01:24.07] The gun the gun the gun the gun oh yes
[01:25.69] They both reached for the gun for the gun
[01:28.54] Understandable understandable
[01:32.81] Yes it's perfectly understandable
[01:37.04] Comprehensible comprehensible
[01:40.94] Not a bit reprehensible it's so defensible
[01:51.45] How're you feeling
[01:53.20] Very frightened
[01:55.05] Are you sorry
[01:56.88] Are you kidding
[01:58.67] What's your statement
[02:00.50] All I'd say is
[02:02.16] Though my choo-choo jumped the track
[02:03.90] I'd give my life to bring him back
[02:05.86] And
[02:06.29] Stay away from
[02:07.49] What
[02:07.94] Jazz and liquor
[02:09.21] And
[02:09.80] And the men who
[02:11.12] What
[02:11.54] Play for fun
[02:12.58] And what
[02:13.46] That's the thought that
[02:14.71] Yeah
[02:15.19] Came upon me
[02:16.60] When
[02:17.05] When we both reached for the gun
[02:20.25] Understandable understandable
[02:24.59] Yes it's perfectly understandable
