Rita’s Confession lyrics

[RITA, spoken]
Vinnie! You're my brother. I'm in a little trouble and I didn't know where else to go. Listen to this obituary I just found in the Atlantic City paper

[VINNIE, spoken]
Rita. You're holding it upside down

[RITA, spoken]
Huh? Oh

[VINNIE, spoken]
Put on your glasses

[RITA, spoken]
"British Shoe Salesman Inherits Six Million Dollars from Casino Manager Uncle."

[VINNIE, spoken]
I don't get it

[RITA, spoken]
Let me start at the beginning
(sung)
I was having an affair

[VINNIE]
An affair?
[RITA]
An affair
And my lover's name was Tony

[VINNIE]
Tony?

[RITA]
Hendon
He managed my husband's casino
He wore a tux!

I went crazy for the guy
Which is why...

[VINNIE]
Which is why?

[RITA]
I embezzeled from my husband

[VINNIE]
Not your husband?

[RITA]
We stole from my husband's casino
Six million bucks
[VINNIE, spoken]
No!

[RITA]
And all in rocks!

[VINNIE, spoken]
God!

[RITA]
Six million bucks in diamonds
In a heart-shaped box

Now I've gotta go to Monte Carlo
I've gotta find this man
He inherited the money
I embezzled from my husband
For my lover who I accidentally shot!

[VINNE, spoken]
What?!

[RITA]
Well, I went to Tony's place

[VINNIE, spoken]
Tony's place
[RITA]
It was dawn
And I saw a woman leaving

[VINNIE]
Woman?

[RITA]
Leaving
I knew that my Tony was in there
Well, I saw red!

And the room was very dark

[VINNIE, spoken]
Very dark?

[RITA]
Very dark!
And I didn't have my glasses

[VINNE, spoken]
What? No glasses?

[RITA]
And there in the dark, accidentally
I shot him dead!
They found his will
He left this English nephew
My entire six mil!

Now I've gotta go to Monte Carlo
I've gotta find this man

[VINNIE]
He inherited the money

[RITA]
I embezzled from my husband

[VINNIE]
For the guy you accidentally shot at dawn?

[RITA]
And you've gotta go to Monte Carlo

[VINNIE, spoken]
Me?

[RITA]
Just as fast as you can

[VINNIE, spoken]
Why?

[RITA]
'Cause I accidentally mentioned
It was you who took the money
When my husband accidentally found it gone!

What could I say?

[VINNIE, spoken]
What did you say? What did you say?

[RITA]
What could I do?

[VINNIE, spoken]
What did you do? What did you do?

[RITA]
The money was gone and Nicky caught on, so I blamed it

[VINNIE, spoken]
No...

[RITA]
On you!
(spoken)
I said you lost it gambling! (laughs) I was desperate! It just came out of my mouth! Spontaneously! And now... well... I think Nicky has a contract on your life!

[VINNIE]
I've gotta go to Monte Carlo
I've gotta find this man!

[RITA, spoken]
Mmm hmm!

[VINNIE]
I could end up in the river
With a bullet in my liver
Or piano wire wrapped around my neck!

[RITA, spoken]
Check!

[RITA, VINNIE]
I've gotta go to Monte Carlo
Just as fast as I can!

[VINNIE, RITA]
I've gotta go to Monte Carlo
I booked a flight to Monte Carlo
I've gotta go, we've gotta both go to Monte Carlo

[RITA, VINNIE]
We've gotta go to Monte Carlo
Just as fast as we can
And find this man!
