[Liz (Spoken)]
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 little sympathy
And there's Bernie laying
On the couch drinking a beer and chewing
No not chewing popping
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

[All]
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 dome the same

[Annie (Spoken)]
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
It was like heaven in two and a half rooms
And then I found out
"Single" he told me? Single my a__
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 a___nic

[All]
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

[June (Spoken)]
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 been s_______ the milkman" he says
He was crazy and he kept screaming
"You been s_______ 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 have done the same

[Hunyak (Spoken)]
Mit kersek, en itt?
Azt mondjok hogy a hires lakem lefogta a ferjemet en Meg lecsaptam a fejet
De nem igaz en artatlan vagyok
Nem tudom mert mondja Uncle Sam hogy en tettem
Probaltam a rendorsegen megmayarazni de nem ertettek meg

[Roxie (Spoken)]
Yeah, but did you do it?

[Hunyak]
Uh uh, not guilty

[Velma]
My sister Veronica and I did this double act
And my husband Charlie used to travel round with us
Now for 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 Cicero
The three of us boozing having 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

[Velma] They had it coming
[Girls] They had it coming
[Velma] They had it coming
[Girls] They had it coming
[Velma] They had it coming all along
[Girls] They had it coming all along
[Velma] I didn't do it
[Girls] She didn't do it
[Velma] But if I done it
[Girls] But if she done it
[Velma] How could you tell me that I was wrong?

[Velma] They had it coming
[Girls] They had it coming
[Velma] They had it coming
[Girls] They had it coming
[Velma] They had it coming
[Girls] They took a flower
[Velma] All along
[Girls] In its prime
[Velma] I didn't do it
[Girls] And then they used it
[Velma] But if I'd done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong?

[Mona(Spoken)]
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 can say we broke up
Because of artistic differences
He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead

[All]
The dirty b__, b__, b__, b__, b__
The dirty b__, b__, b__, b__, b__

They had it coming They had it coming
They had it coming They had it coming
They had it coming They had it coming

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 that we were wrong?

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 a__
Ten times
Miert csukott Uncle Same bortonbe
Number seventeen-the spread eagle
Artistic differences
