Lyrics

And now the six merry murderesses of the Crookem 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!
 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!
 You know how people have these little habits
 That get you down like Ernie
 Ernie like to chew gum, no, not chew, Pop
 Like, I come home this one day and there's Ernie
 Layin' on the couch chewin', no, not chewin', poppin'
 So, I said to him, I said
 "Ernie, 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
 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.
 Then I found out, single, my ass
 Not only was he married, well, 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
 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
 Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
 Carvin' up the chicken for dinner
 And in storms my husband Wilbrin in a jealous rage
 "You been screwin' the milkman"
 He says and he kept sayin'
 "You been screwin the milkman"
 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 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
 But did you do it?
 Uh uh, not guilty
 My sister, Veronica and I had this double act
 And my husband, Charlie traveled around with us
 With the last number in our act
 We did 20 acrobatic tricks in our world
 One two three four five, splits, spread eagles
 Flip flops, back flips, one right after the other
 Well, this one night we were in Cicero
 The three of us, we were in this hotel room
 Boozin' and havin' a few laughs and we ran out of ice
 So I went out to get some
 I come back, open the door
 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, inspite if I'd done it
 How could you tell me that I was wrong?
 I loved Alvin Lipschitz, 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 can 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 comin', they had it comin'
 They had it comin' all along
 'Cause if they used us and they abused us
 How could they tell us 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
 You pop that gum one more time
 Single my ass
 Ten times
 Miert csukott Uncle Sam bortonbe
 Number seventeen, the spread eagle
 Artistic differences
 I betcha you would have done the same
