We Both Reached For The Gun - Sound-a-like Cover
Bandleader: Mr Billy Flynn and the press conference rag.
Notice how his mouth never moves.
Almost.
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: 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?
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

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
REPORTERS: 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?
