Song lyrics
[REPORTERS] 
Where'd you come from? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Mississippi 

[REPORTERS] 
And your parents? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Very wealthy. 

[REPORTERS] 
Where are they now? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Six feet under. 

[BILLY] 
But she was granted one more start 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
The convent of The Sacred Heart! 

[REPORTERS] 
When'd you get here? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
1920 

[REPORTERS] 
How old were you? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Don't remember 

[REPORTERS] 
Then what happened? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
I met Amos 
And he stole my heart away 
Convinced me to elope one day 

[MARY SUNSHINE (spoken)] 
Oh you poor dear I cant believe what you've been through! A convent girl! A runaway marriage! 
Now tell us, Roxie... 

[MARY SUNSHINE] 
Who's Fred Casely? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
My ex-boyfriend. 

[REPORTERS] 
Why'd you shoot him? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
I was leavin'. 

[REPORTERS] 
Was he angry? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Like a madman 
Still I said, "Fred, move along." 

[BILLY] 
She knew that she was doing wrong. 

[REPORTERS] 
Then describe it. 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
He came toward me. 

[REPORTERS] 
With the pistol? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
From my bureau. 

[REPORTERS] 
Did you fight him? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Like a tiger. 

[BILLY] 
He had strength and she had none. 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
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] 
Understandable, understandable 
Yes it's perfectly understandable 
Comprehensible, Comprehensible 
Not a bit reprehensible 
It's so defensible 

[REPORTERS] 
How're you feeling? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Very frightened 

[MARY SUNSHINE] 
Are you sorry? 

[ROXIE] 
Are you kidding? 

[REPORTERS] 
What's your statement? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
All I'd say is 
Though my choo-choo jumped the track 
I'd give my life to bring him back 

[REPORTERS] 
And? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Stay away from... 

[REPORTERS] 
What? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Jazz and liquor... 

[REPORTERS] 
And? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
And the men who... 

[REPORTERS] 
What? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Play for fun... 

[REPORTERS] 
And what? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
That's the thought that... 

[REPORTERS] 
Yeah? 

[BILLY (as Roxie)] 
Came upon me... 

[REPORTERS] 
When? 

[BILLY] 
When they both reached for the gun! 

[MARY SUNSHINE] 
Understandable, understandable 

[BILLY AND MARY SUNSHINE] 
Yes, it's perfectly understandable 
Comprehensible, comprehensible 
Not a bit reprehensible 
It's so defensible! 

[REPORTERS] 
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both 
Oh yes, they both 
Oh yes, they both reached for 

[BILLY (spoken)] 
Let me hear it! 

[REPORTERS] 
The gun, the gun, the gun, 
The gun 
Oh yes, they both reached 
For the gun 

[BILLY (spoken)] 
A little louder! 

[REPORTERS] 
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both 
Oh yes, they both 
Oh yes, they both reached 
For the gun, the gun, 

[BILLY (spoken)] 
Now you got it! 

[REPORTERS] 
The gun,the gun 
Oh yes. They both reached 
For the gun 
For the gun. 

[BILLY AND 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. 

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both 
Oh yes, they both 
Oh yes, 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 

[BILLY] 
Both reached for the...gun 

[REPORTERS] 
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.
