Liz: You know how some people have those habits that get you down? Like Bernie. Bernie liked to chew gum. No, not chew. POP! So I come home from work one night and I'm really irritated, and I'm looking for a little sympathy. And there's Bernie, lying on the couch, drinking a beer and chewin'. No, not chewin'. POPPIN'! So I said "If you pop that gum one more time..." And he did. So I took the shotgun off the wall and fired two warning shots...into his head!
All: He had it comin He had it comin 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: I met Ezekial Young from Salt Lake City, and he told me he was single, so we hit it off right away. Every night, he'd come home, I'd mix him a drink, we'd have dinner. It was like heaven in two and a half rooms. But soon I found out: Single he told me? Well, single my ass. Not only was he married. Oh no! He had six wives. One of those Mormons, ya know? Well, one night he came home, and I mixed him a drink, as usual....You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.
All: He had it Comin He had it Comin He took a flower in his prime and then he used it and he abused it It was a murder Not a crime!
June: I'm standin' in the kitchen, carving up a chicken for dinner, minding my own business, when in storms my husband, Wilbur, in a jealous rage. "You've been screwing the milkman," he said. He was crazy, and he kept on screaming, "You've been screwing the milkman." And then he ran into my knife...he ran into my knife ten times
All: if you'd been there If You'd seen it I betcha you would've done the same!
Hunyak: Mit keresek, enn itt? Azt mondjok, hogy lakem lefogta a ferjemet en meg lecsaptam a fejet. De nem igaz, en artatlan vagyok. Nem tudom mert mondja Uncle Sam hogy en tetten. Probaltam a rendorsegen megmagyarazni de nem ertettek meg... (Translation: What am I doing here? They say, the famous Hungarian police, that I killed my husband. But I didn't do it, I am not guilty. I can't believe that Uncle Sam says I did it. They say I did it, but really I didn't)
June: Yeah, but did you do it? Hanyak: UH UH, not guilty!
All: He had it comin... he had it comin...
Velma Kelly: 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 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 at the hotel Cicero, the three of us boozin, having a few laughs, and we run out of ice, so I run out to get some. I come back, open the door, and there's Veronica and Charlie doing number 17, the spread-eagle! Well, I was in such a state of shock that 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!
All: They had it coming They had it coming They had it coming all along.
Velma Kelly: I didn't do it All: I didnt do it But if I'd done it All: But if I done it How could you tell me that I was wrong
All: They had it coming They had it coming They had it coming all along.
Velma Kelly: I didn't do it All: I didnt do it But if I'd done it All: But if I done it How could you tell me that I was wrong
Mona: I loved Al Lipshitz more than I could say. He was a real artistic type, a painter. 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!
All: The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Liz, Annie, Mona: Velma, June, Hunyak: They had it comin' They had it comin' They had it comin' They had it comin' They had it comin' They had it comin' 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 How could you tell us That we were wrong? That we were wrong?
Velma, June, Hunyak: 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!
Liz: You pop that gum one more time!
Annie: Single my ass.
June: Ten times!
Hunyak: Miert csukott Uncle Sam bortonbe.
Velma: Number Seventeen - the spread eagle.
