We Both Reached for the Gun

Mr Flynn, the reporters are here
 Let 'em in, butch
 Okay Roxie, act like a dummy
 You sit on my lap and I'll do all the talking
 Mr. Billy Flynn sings the press confrence rag

 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
 A convent girl, a run away marriage
 Oh, it's too terrible you poor, poor dear
 Who's Fred Casley?
 My ex-boyfriend
 Why'd you shoot him?
 I was leaving
 Was he angry?
 Like a mad man
 Still I said "Fred, move along"
 She knew that she was doing wrong
 Then describe it
 He came towards me
 With the pistol?
 From my bureau
 Did you fight him?
 Like a tiger
 He had strength and she had none

 Comprehensible, comprehensible
 Not a bit reprehensible
 It's so defensible
 How ya 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 it 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
