Both Reached For The Gun Lyrics

(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 

reached for 

the gun 

the gun 

the gun 

the gun

oh yes we both

reached for the gun

for the gun

(reporters)

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

(billy flynn)

under-stand-able, under-stand-able

yes it perfectly under-stand-able

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!!!!!!!!!!

( mary sunshine singing)

under-stand-able, under-stand-able

(billy flynn and mary sunshine)

yes it perfectly under-stand-able

compre-hen-sible, compre-hen-sible

not a bit reprehensible, its sooo de-fen-si-ble

(ding)

(reporters slowly at first then start to pick up speed)

Oh yes
