	Pop!
	Six!
	Squish!
	Uh Uh (squeezing necklace)
	Cicero (Smoke puffs)
	Lipschitz!
	And now the 6 marry murderesses of the cook county
	jail in their rendition of the cell block tango
	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
	You know how people
	have these little habits
	That get you down. Like Bernie.
	Bernie like to chew gum.
	No, not chew. POP.
	So I came home this one day
	And I am really irritated, and I'm
	looking for a bit of sympathy
	and there's Bernie layin'
	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, 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, I fixed him
	his drink as usual.
	You know, some guys just can't hold
	their arsenic.
	Hah! He had it coming
	He had it coming
	He took a flower
	In its prime
	And then he used it
	And he abused it
	It was a murder
	But not a crime!
	Pop, six, squish, uh-uh
	Cicero, Lipschitz
	Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
	carvin' up the chicken for dinner,
	minding my own business,
	and in storms my husband Wilbur,
	in a jealous rage.
	"You been screwin' the milkman,"
	he says. He was crazy
	and he kept screamin',
	"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 keresek, én itt? Azt mondják,
	hogy a híres lakem lefogta a férjemet én meg
	lecsaptam a fejét. De nem igaz, én ártatlan
	vagyok. Nem tudom miért mondja
	Uncle Sam, hogy én tettem. Probáltam
	a rendõrségen megmagyarázni de nem értették meg...
	Yeah, but did you do it?
	UH UH, not guilty!
	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 20 acrobatic tricks
	one two three four,five...splits, spread eagles,
	back flips,flip flops,
	one right after the other.
	Well, this one night we were in the hotel Cicero,
	the three of us,
	boozin' and
	havin' a few laughs
	when we run out of ice.
	So I went 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 all along
	I didn't do it
	But if I'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
	I didn't do it
	But if I'd done it
	How could you tell me
	That I was wrong?
	I loved Alvin 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 can 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 comin'
	They had it comin'
	They had it comin'
	They had it comin'
	They had it comin'
	They had it comin'
	All along
	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
	How could you tell us That we were wrong?
	That we were wrong?
	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
