Lyrics We Both Reached For The Gun - Taye Diggs, Christine Baranski, Cleve Asbury, Shaun Amyot & Rick Negron

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?

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

Oh you poor dear I cant believe what you have been through A convent girl! A run-away marriage!
Now tell us Roxie...

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 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
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
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

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, Both reached for the gun.
