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
