Pop, Six, Squish, Uh Uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
And now, the six merry murderesses of the Cook County Jail
In their rendition of the Cell Block Tango
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, he 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, 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
He took a flower in it's prime
And then he used it and he abused it
It was a murder but not a crime
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
Carving up the 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, én itt? Azt mondják, hogy a hires
Lakóm 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 rendőrségen megmagyarázni, de nem értették meg
Yeah, but did you do it?
Uh uh, not guilty
He had it coming
My sister, Veronica and I had this double act (He had it coming)
And my husband, Charlie traveled around with us
Now, with the last number in our act
We did these 20 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 in Cicero
The three of us, boozin', havin' a few laughs, and we ran 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 (She didn't do it), but if I'd done 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 (And they abused it), but if I'd done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong? (He had it coming)
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 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 they 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 been there), if you'd have seen it (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
