Adrienna:
You know how people have those 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 looking for sympathy,
And there’s Bernie lying on the couch, drinking some beer and chewing.
No, not chewing, popping.
So I said to him, “Bernie, you pop that gum one time…” and he did.
So I took the rifle shotgun off the wall and fired two warning shots…
Into his head.
He had it coming
He had it coming
If you’d have been there
If you’d have heard it
I betcha you would’ve done the same
Sabrina:
I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City and two years ago
And he told 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 had dinner,
And then I found out, “‘Single,’ he told me?” Yeah, I know that.
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

Raven:
Now, I’m standing in the kitchen
Carving up the chicken for dinner minding my own business
And in storms, my husband Wilbur in a jealous rage.
“You’ve been screwing the milkman,” he says.
He was crazy and he kept on screaming,
“YOU’VE BEEN SCREWING THE MILKMAN!”
And then he ran into my knife;
He ran into my knife ten times.
All:
If you’d have been there
If you’d have seen it
I betcha you would’ve done the same
Kimberly:
What am I doing here?
They say my famous lover held down my husband while I chopped off his head.
But, it’s not true; I’m innocent.
I don’t know why Uncle Sam says I did it.
I tried to explain at the police station, but they didn’t understand me.
Raven:
Yeah, but did you do it?
Kimberly:
Uh-uh, not guilty!
Lady G:
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 20 acrobatic tricks in a row;
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, splits, spread eagles, backflips, flipflops, one right after the other.
So this one night before the show, we were down at the hotel Cicero;
The three of us, boozing, having a few laughs…
And we ran out of ice, so I went out to get some.
I come back, open the door…
And there’s Veronica and Charlie doing number 17; the Spread Eagle.
Well, I was in such a state of shock.
I completely blacked out; I really 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
Others:
They had it coming
Lady G:
They had it coming
Others:
They had it coming
Lady G:
They had it coming all along
Others:
They had it coming all along
Lady G:
I didn’t do it
Others:
She didn’t do it
Lady G:
But if I’d done it
Others:
But if she’d done it
Lady G:
How could you tell me that I was wrong?
They had it coming
Others:
They had it coming
Lady G:
They had it coming
Others:
They had it coming
Lady G:
They had it coming all along
Others:
They took the flower it this prime
Lady G:
I didn’t do it
Others:
And then they used it
Lady G:
But if I’d done it
Others:
So they abused it
Lady G/Others:
How could you tell me that I was wrong?/It was a murder, but not a crime
Keily:
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 could say we broke up because of artistic differences.
He saw himself as alive and I saw him DEAD.
Raven, Lady G & Keily:

Adrienna, Sabrina & Raven:
‘Cause if they used us,
Kimberly, Lady G & Keily:
‘Cause if they used us,
Adrienna, Sabrina & Raven:
Then they abused us
Kimberly, Lady G & Keily:
Then they abused us
All:
How could you tell us that we were wrong?
Adrienna, Sabrina & Raven:
He had it coming
