We Both Reached for the Gun

bandmaster speaking)
 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 ya get here
 1920
 How old were you
 Don't remember
 Then what happened
 I met amis, then he stole my heart away
 Convinced me to elope one day
 (mary sunshine)
 Oh you poor dear I can't believe what you've been through
 A convent girl
 A runaway marriage, now tell us roxie
 Who's fred casely
 My ex-boyfriend
 (reporters)why'd you shoot him
 I was leaving
 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

 Compre-hen-sible, compre-hen-sible
 Not a bit reprehensible, its sooo de-fen-si-ble
 (reporters)
 How ya feelin'
 Very frightened
 (mary sunshine)
 Are you sorry
 (roxie speaking)
 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
 Yea
 Came upon me
 When
 When we both reached for the gun!!!!!!!!!!
