Lyrics
Mr Flynn, the reporter are here
Let’em in, butch
Okay, Roxy, act like a dummy
You sit on my lap and I’ll do all the talking
Mr Billy Flynn in 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 there?
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 runaway marriage
Oh, it’s too terrible
You poor, poor dear
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 doin’ wrong
Then describe it
He come towards me
With a pistol?
From my bureau
Did you fight him?
Like a tiger
He had strength and she had none
And yet they 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 kiddin’!?
What’s your statement?
All I say is
Though my choo-choo jumped the track
I’d give my 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
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh yes, they both reached 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!)
