Pop, Six, Squish, Uh Uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
 ♪
 And now, the six merry murderesses of the Cook County Jail
 In their rendition of the Cell Block Tango
 Pop, Six, Squish, Uh Uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
 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, he 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, 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
 He took a flower in it's prime
 And then he used it and he abused it
 It was a murder but not a crime
 Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
 Carving up the 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, én itt? Azt mondják, hogy a hires
 Lakóm lefogta a férjemet én meg lecsaptam a fejét
 De nem igaz, én ártatlan vagyok
 Nem tudom miért mondja Uncle Sam, hogy én tettem, probáltam
 A rendőrségen megmagyarázni, de nem értették meg
 Yeah, but did you do it?
 Uh uh, not guilty
 He had it coming
 My sister, Veronica and I had this double act (He had it coming)
 And my husband, Charlie traveled around with us
 Now, with 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 in Cicero
 The three of us, boozin', havin' 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
 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 (She didn't do it), but if I'd done 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 (And they abused it), but if I'd done it
 How could you tell me that I was wrong? (He had it coming)
 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 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 they 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 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 ass
 Ten times
 Miert csukott Uncle Sam bortonbe
 Number seventeen, the spread eagle
 Artistic differences
 Pop, Six, Squish, Uh Uh, Cicero, Lipschitz
