Cell Block Tango - The Vocal Masters

Written by：Ebb/Kander

And now the six married 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

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 Bernie Bernie like to chew gum no not chew pop

When I come home one day

And there's Bernie lying' on the couch chewing

No not chewing popping

So I said to him I said Bernie 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 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 a** not only was he married

He had Six wives one of those Mormons you know

So that night when he came home

I mixed 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 carving up the chicken for dinner

And in storms my husband Wilbrin in a jealous rage

You been screwing the milkman he says

He was crazy and he kept on

You been screwing 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 keresek é n itt azt mondjá k

A hí res lakó m lefogta a fé rjem

É n meg lecsaptam a fejé t de nem igaz

É n á rtatlan vagyok nem tudom

Mié rt mondja uncle sam hogy é n tettem

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 a row

One two three four five splits spread eagles back flips flip flops

One right after the other

Well this one night we were in Cicero

The three of us boozing and having 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 but if I 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'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

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 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 a**

Ten times

Mié rt csukott uncle sam bö rtö nbe

Number seventeen the spread eagle

Artistic differences

I betcha you would have done the same
