[EVELYN NESBIT]
Whee!

[GIRLS]
La la, la la
La la, la la la

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Whee!

[GIRLS]
La la, la la
La la, la la la

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Your honor
I was once the lady friend of Stanford White

[GIRLS]
He's the famous architect

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Yes, that's right
He put me on a velvet swing
And made me wear... well... hardly anything
[GIRLS]
Ooh!

[EVELYN NESBIT, spoken]
Ruined at the age of fifteen

(sung)
Your honor
Then I went and married Mr. Harry Thaw

[EVELYN NESBIT & GIRLS]
Eccentric millionaire

[GIRLS]
Oh! Oh!

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Harry's a jealous man

[GIRLS]
Bang! Bang!

[EVELYN NESBIT]
That was the end of Stan

[GIRLS]
Boo hoo!
[EVELYN NESBIT]
Your honor, be fair
My Harry went crazy, I swear

[ENSEMBLE & EVELYN NESBIT]
Now it's the
Crime of the century
Crime of the century
Giving the world a thrill

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Harry's in trouble
And Stanny's in heaven
And Evelyn is in vaudеville

[ENSEMBLE & EVELYN NESBIT]
The crime of thе century
Crime of the century
All for a youthful fling
Fortune, fame
And a ruined name

[EVELYN NESBIT]
And now I'm the girl on the swing
Whee!
[GIRLS]
Oh! Oh!

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Stanley made love to me

[GIRLS]
Bang! Bang!

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Now he's a memory

[GIRLS]
Boo hoo!

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Your honor, be kind
My Harry was out of his mind

[ENSEMBLE]
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 NESBIT]
And Evelyn gets publicity

[ENSEMBLE]
The crime of the century
Crime of the century
Not such an awful thing

[EVELYN NESBIT]
Stanny's killed
But my mother's thrilled
'Cause now I'm the girl on the—
Now I'm the girl on the swing
Whee!
