Evelyn:
Whee!

Chorus Girls:

Evelyn:
YOUR HONOR,
I WAS ONCE THE LADY FRIEND OF STANFORD WHITE.

Chorus Girls:
HE'S THE FAMOUS ARCHITECT!

Evelyn:
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
HE PUT ME ON A VELVET SWING.
AND MADE ME WEAR...WELL...HARDLY ANYTHING!
Ruined at the age of fifteen!
YOUR HONOR!

THEN I WENT AND MARRIED MR. HARRY THAW,
ECCENTRIC MILLIONAIRE.

Chorus Girls and Evelyn:
OH! OH!

Evelyn:
HARRY'S A JEALOUS MAN.

Chorus Girls:
BANG! BANG!

Evelyn:
THAT WAS THE END OF STAN.

Chorus Girls:
BOO HOO!

Evelyn:
YOUR HONOR, BE FAIR!
MY HARRY WENT CRAZY, I SWEAR!

Judge, Jury, Reporters, Evelyn, and Chorus Girls
NOW IT'S THE
CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
GIVING THE WORLD A THRILL!

Evelyn:
HARRY'S IN TROUBLE
AND STANNY'S IN HEAVEN
AND EVELYN IS IN VAUDEVILLE!

All and Evelyn:
THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
ALL FOR A YOUTHFUL FLING.
FORTUNE, FAME,
AND A RUINED NAME!

Evelyn:
AND NOW I'M THE GIRL ON THE SWING!
WHEE!

Chorus Girls:
OH! OH!

Evelyn:
STANNY MADE LOVE TO ME.

Chorus Girls:
BANG! BANG!

Evelyn:
NOW HE'S A MEMORY!

Chorus Girls:
BOO HOO!

Evelyn:
YOUR HONOR BE KIND,
MY HARRY WAS OUT OF HIS MIND!

All:
AND IT'S THE
CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
MAKING THE WORLD GO "WHEE"!
HARRY'S IN TROUBLE
AND STANNY'S IN HEAVEN

Evelyn:
AND EVELYN GETS PUBLICITY!

All:
THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
NOT SUCH AN AWEFUL THING-

Evelyn:
STANNY'S KILLED,
BUT MY MOTHER'S THRILLED
