[JAILOR, spoken]
Hey Jim! Got you a visitor, boy. 

[SLATON, spoken]
Hello, Jim. 
[CONLEY, spoken]
You who I think you are?

[SLATON, spoken]
Couple of questions for you. 

[CONLEY, spoken]
You want some water? Bring the Gov'nor some water. 

[SLATON, spoken]
No, thank you. 

[CONLEY, spoken]
We fixin' to talk about that mess with Mr. Frank?

[SLATON, spoken]
Yes. 

[CONLEY]
Yeah...

[CHAIN GANG]
Yeah...

[SLATON, spoken]
When they found the body in the basement, coroner's report says there was sawdust in the mouth and lungs. 
[CONLEY]
Hey yeah...

[CHAIN GANG]
Yeah...

[SLATON, spoken]
Got any idea what that means?

[CONLEY]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...

[CHAIN GANG]
Yeah...

[SLATON, spoken]
Means she had to be breathin' in the basement, because there isn't any sawdust on the second floor. Means she was alive when you carried her into the basement. 

[CONLEY, spoken]
Hmm! Then she musta come back to life, 'cause she was dead as last Christmas Eve when Mr. Frank showed me the body. 

(sung)
We're gonna roll like thunder...

[SLATON, spoken]
Coroner's report raises some questions about your story, wouldn't you say?
[CONLEY, spoken]
That so? You can try and prove that in court, I imagine. 

(sung)
You ever been on a chain gang, Gov'nor?

[SLATON, spoken]
Not yet. 

[CONLEY]
You ever break these rocks on a chain gang?
Ha ha ha! Get yourself thinkin', Gov'nor—
How you wanna have a good time!
Hey yeah...

[CHAIN GANG]
Yeah...

[CONLEY]
Now, Mr. Frank, he had a good time
Man knows how to have a good time

[CONLEY, CHAIN GANG]

And feel the rain fall (Feel the rain fall...)
