The Fall of the House of Borden/"The Alibi"
by Carrie Cimma, Carrie Manolakos, Ryah Nixon
Music : Steven Chesklik-deMeyer/Tim Maner/Alan Stevens Hewitt/Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer BRIDGET In the house of Borden Somebody left us quite a mess Splattered blood and brains on everything Except on Lizzie's dress It's a crime scene, it's a nightmare It's a bloodbath, it's a fright It's a butcher's shop in the house of Borden A mob is gathering outside Half the town is in the yard The press is in a frenzy Cops are standing guard It must've been a lunatic A foreigner, a beast But it's just us girls in the house of Borden LIZZIE (spoken) I was in the backyard ALICE (spoken) Did you see anyone or hear anything? LIZZIE (spoken) I saw no one. Heard no screams ALICE (spoken) Where were you in the yard? LIZZIE (spoken) I was up in the barn loft ALICE (spoken) Why would you go up there after... what happened? LIZZIE (spoken) I went out to get a... lead sinker for my fishing trip. I heard a distressing noise, like scraping, And came back and found the screen door open ALICE (spoken) How long were you up there? LIZZIE (spoken) Twenty minutes? ALICE (spoken) It must've been sweltering! LIZZIE (spoken) I ate some pears BRIDGET Lizzie was in the backyard Or did she say the barn? It's only been a day now And she's spinning quite a yarn What we know for sure Is there were four and now there's two There's no coming back to the house of Borden In the house of Borden Somebody left us quite a mess Splattered blood and brains on everything Except on Lizzie's dress It's a crime scene, it's a nightmare It's a bloodbath, it's a fright And it blew the roof off the house of Borden We laid them out in the dining room It's going on day two I know it sounds disgusting But it's 1892 There's no AC It's August And it's ninety-five degrees Well, you do the math
