Lyrics

Pop
Six
Squish
Uh-uh
Cicero
Lipschitz
And now, the six merry murderesses of the Cook County Jail (Pop, six, squish)
In their rendition of the Cell Block Tango (Uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz)
Pop
Six
Squish
Uh-uh
Cicero
Lipschitz
Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
He had it coming, he had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same
Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
You know how people have these little habits that get you down?
Like Bernie
Bernie liked to chew gum, no, not chew, pop
So I came home this one day and I'm really irritated
And I'm looking for a little bit of sympathy
And there's Bernie lyin' on the couch, drinkin' a beer and chewin'
No, not chewin', poppin'
So I said to him, I said, "You pop that gum one more time"
And he did
So I took the shotgun off the wall and I fired two warning shots
Into his head
He had it coming, he had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there, if you'd have heard it
I betcha you would have done the same
I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City about two years ago
And he told me he was single and we hit it off right away
So we started living together, he'd go to work, he'd come home
I'd fix him a drink and we'd have dinner
And then I found out, single he told me, single my ass
Not only was he married, oh, no, he had six wives
One of those Mormons, you know
So that night when he came home from work
I fixed him his drink as usual
You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic
He had it coming, he had it coming (Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz)
He took a flower in its prime (Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz)
And then he used it, and he abused it (Pop, six)
It was a murder but not a crime (Squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz)
Now I'm standing in the kitchen, carving up a chicken for dinner
Minding my own business
In storms my husband Wilbur in a jealous rage
"You been screwin' the milkman", he says
He was crazy and he kept on screaming
"You been screwin' the milkman"
And then, he ran into my knife
He ran into my knife ten times
If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same
Mit, kersek en itt
Azt mondjok hogy a hire lakem lefogta a ferjemet
En meg lecsaptam a fejet de nem igaz
En artatlan vagyok
Nem tudom
Mert mondja Uncle Same hogy en tettem
Probaltam
A rendorsegen megmayarazni de nem ertettek meg
Yeah, but did you do it?
Uh-uh, not guilty
He had it coming
My sister Veronica and I had this double act
And my husband Charlie traveled around with us
Now for the last number in our act
We did these twenty acrobatic tricks in a row
One, two, three, four, five, splits, spread eagles
Back flips, flip-flops, one right after the other
So this one night before the show, we're down at the Hotel Cicero
The three of us boozin', havin' a few laughs, and we run out of ice
So I go out to get some
I come back, open the door
And there's Veronica and Charlie doing Number Seventeen
The spread eagle
Well, I was in such a state of shock
I completely blacked out, I can't remember a thing
It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands
I even knew they were dead
They had it coming (They had it coming)
They had it coming (They had it coming)
They had it coming all along (They had it coming all along)
I didn't do it, but if I'd done it (She didn't do it, but if she'd done it)
How could you tell me that I was wrong?
They had it coming (They had it coming)
They had it coming (They had it coming)
They had it coming all along (They took a flower in its prime)
I didn't do it, but if I'd done it (And then they used it)
How could you tell me that I was wrong?
I loved Al Lipschitz more than I can possibly say
He was a real artistic guy, sensitive, a painter
But he was always trying to find himself
He'd go out every night looking for himself, and on the way
He found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary, and Irving
I guess you could say we broke up because of artistic differences
He saw himself as alive
And I saw him dead
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
They had it coming (They had it coming)
They had it coming (They had it coming)
They had it coming all along (They had it coming all along)
'Cause if they used us ('Cause if they used us)
And they abused us (And they abused us)
How could you tell us that we were wrong?
He had it coming (He had it coming)
He had it coming (He had it coming)
He only had himself to blame (He only had himself to blame)
If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it (If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it)
I betcha you would have done the same
You pop that gum one more time
Single my ass
Ten times
Miert csukot Uncle Same bortonbe
Number seventeen, the spread eagle
Artistic differences
Pop
Six
Squish
Uh-uh
