Your honor
I was once the lady friend of Stanford White
He's the famous architect
Yes, that's right
He put me on a velvet swing
And made me wear... well... hardly anything
Ooh!
Ruined at the age of fifteen
(sung)
Your honor
Then I went and married Mr. Harry Thaw
Eccentric millionaire
Oh! Oh!
Harry's a jealous man
Bang! Bang!
That was the end of Stan
Boo hoo!
Your honor, be fair
My Harry went crazy, I swear
Now it's the
Crime of the century
Crime of the century
Giving the world a thrill
Harry's in trouble
And Stanny's in heaven
And Evelyn is in vaudeville
The crime of the century
Crime of the century
All for a youthful fling
Fortune, fame
And a ruined name
And now I'm the girl on the swing
Whee!
Oh! Oh!
Stanley made love to me
Bang! Bang!
Now he's a memory
Boo hoo!
Your honor, be kind
My Harry was out of his mind
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
And Evelyn gets publicity
The crime of the century
Crime of the century
Not such an awful thing
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!
