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 bit of sympathy 

and there's Bernie layin' 

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. 

[GIRLS] 

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! 

[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. 

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, I fixed him 

his drink as usual. 

You know, some guys just can't hold 

their arsenic. 

[LIZ,ANNIE,JUNE,MONA] 

Hah! 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! 

[VELMA AND HUNYAK] 

Pop, six, squish, uh-uh 

Cicero, Lipschitz 

[JUNE (Spoken)] 

Now, I'm standing in the kitchen 

carvin' up the chicken for dinner, 

minding my own business, 

and in storms my husband Wilbur, 

in a jealous rage. 

"You been screwin' the milkman," 

he says. He was crazy 

and he kept screamin', 

"you been screwin 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 keresek, йn itt? Azt mondjбk, 

hogy a hнres lakem lefogta a fйrjemet йn meg 

lecsaptam a fejйt. De nem igaz, йn бrtatlan 

vagyok. Nem tudom miйrt mondja 

Uncle Sam, hogy йn tettem. Probбltam 

a rendÑ...rsйgen megmagyarбzni de nem йrtettйk meg... 

[JUNE (Spoken)] 

Yeah, but did you do it? 

[HUNYAK] 

UH UH, not guilty! 

[VELMA] 

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 20 acrobatic tricks 

one two three four,five...splits, spread eagles, 

back flips,flip flops, 

one right after the other. 

Well, this one night we were in the hotel Cicero, 

the three of us, 

boozin' and 

havin' a few laughs 

when we run out of ice. 

So I went 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 all along 

I didn't do it 

But if I'd done it 

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 

[GIRLS] 

And they abused it 

[VELMA] 

How could you tell me 

[GIRLS] 

It was a murder 

[VELMA] 

That I was wrong? 

[GIRLS] 

But not a crime! 

[MONA] 

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 can say we broke 

up because of artistic differences. 

He saw himself as alive 

and I saw him dead.

[VELMA,JUNE,HUNYAK] 

All along 

'Cause if they used us 

'Cause if they used us And they abused us 

And they abused us 

[LIZ,ANNIE,MONA] 

How could you tell us 

[VELMA,JUNE,HUNYAK] 

How could you tell us That we were wrong? 

That we were wrong? 

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!
