We Both Reached For The Gun - Tyler Hanes/Sean Patrick Doyle/The Cast of Fosse/Verdon

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 you get here

Nineteen-twenty

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

Now tell us Roxie

Oh you poor dear

Who's Fred Casely

My ex-boyfriend

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 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 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

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

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 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

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

Both reached for the gun
