You know how people<br>
have these little habits<br>
That get you down. Like Bernie.<br>
Bernie like to chew gum.<br>
No, not chew. POP. So I came home this one day,<br>
And I am really irritated, and<br>
looking for a little sympathy<br>
and there's Bernie layin'<br>
on the couch, drinkin' a beer<br>
and chewin'. No, not chewin'.<br>
Poppin'. So, I said to him,<br>
I said, "You pop that<br>
gum one more time..."<br>
and he did.<br>
So I took the shotgun off the wall<br>
and I fired two warning shots... <br>
...into his head.<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
He had it coming<br>
He had it coming<br>
He only had himself to blame<br>
If you'd have been there<br>
If you'd have heard it<br>
I betcha you would<br>
Have dome the same!<br>
<br>
[ANNIE (Spoken)]<br>
I met Ezekiel Young from<br>
Salt Lake city about two years ago<br>
and he told me he was single<br>
and we hit it off right away.<br>
So, we started living together.<br>
He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd<br>
fix him a drink, We'd have dinner.<br>
And then I found out,<br>
"Single" he told me?<br>
Single, my ass. Not only<br>
was he married<br>
...oh, no, he had six wives.<br>
One of those Mormons, you know. So that<br>
night, when he came home, I fixed him<br>
his drink as usual.<br>
You know, some guys just can't hold<br>
their arsenic.<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
He had it coming<br>
He had it coming<br>
He took a flower <br>
In its prime<br>
And then he used it<br>
And he abused it<br>
It was a murder<br>
But not a crime!<br>
<br>
[JUNE (Spoken)]<br>
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen<br>
carvin' up the chicken for dinner,<br>
minding my own business,<br>
and in storms my husband Wilbur,<br>
in a jealous rage.<br>
"You been screwin' the milkman,"<br>
he says. He was crazy<br>
and he kept screamin',<br>
"you been screwin the milkman."<br>
And then he ran into my knife.<br>
He ran into my knife ten times!<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
If you'd have been there<br>
If you'd have seen it<br>
I betcha you would have done the same!<br>
<br>
[HUNYAK (Spoken in Hungarian)]<br>
Mit kersek, en itt? Azt mondjok, hogy a hires lakem lefogta a ferjemet en meg <br>
lecsaptam a fejet. De nem igaz, en artatlan <br>
vagyok. Nem tudom mert mondja <br>
Uncle Sam hogy en tettem. probaltam<br>
a rendorsegen megmayarazni de nem ertettek meg...<br>
<br>
[JUNE (Spoken)]<br>

[HUNYAK]<br>

<br>
[VELMA]<br>
My sister, Veronica and<br>
I did this double act<br>
and my husband, Charlie,<br>
used to travel round with us.<br>
Now, for the last number in our act, <br>
we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row<br>
One,two,three,four,five...splits, spread eagles,<br>
back flips,flip flops, one right after the other.<br>
So this one night before the show we're down at the hotel Cicero,the three of us,boozin', havin' a few laughs and<br>
we ran out of ice, so I go out to get some.<br>
I come back, open the door, and there's Veronica and<br>
Charlie doing Number Seventeen the spread eagle.<br>
Well, I was in such a state of shock, <br>
I completely blacked out. I can't remember a thing. <br>
It wasn't until later, <br>
when I was washing the blood off my hands <br>
I even knew they were dead.<br>
<br>
[VELMA]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[VELMA]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[VELMA]<br>
They had it coming all along <br>
[GIRLS]<br>
They had it coming all along <br>
[VELMA]<br>
I didn't do it<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
She didn't do it<br>
[VELMA]<br>
But if I done it<br>
[GIRLS] <br>
But if she done it<br>
[VELMA]<br>
How could you tell me that I was wrong?<br>
<br>
[VELMA]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[VELMA]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
They had it coming<br>
[VELMA]<br>
They had it coming <br>
[GIRLS]<br>
They took a flower<br>
[VELMA]<br>
All along<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
In its prime<br>
[VELMA]<br>
I didn't do it <br>
[GIRLS]<br>
And then they used it<br>
[VELMA]<br>
But if I'd done it,<br>
How could you tell me that I was wrong?<br>

[MONA(Spoken)]<br>
I loved Al Lipschitz<br>
more than I can possibly say.<br>
He was a real artistic guy...<br>
sensitive... a painter.<br>
But he was always trying<br>
to find himself.<br>
He'd go out every night<br>
looking for himself<br>
and on the way<br>
he found Ruth,<br>
Gladys,<br>
Rosemary and Irving.<br>
I guess you can say we broke<br>
up because of artistic differences.<br>
He saw himself as alive<br>
and I saw him dead.<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum<br>
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum<br>

[Group 1]<br>
And they abused us <br>
[Group 2]<br>
And they abused us <br>

<br>
[Group 1]<br>

He only had himself to blame.<br>
