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 drinking 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 a** 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

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

Pop six squish uh uh

Cicero lipschitz

Now I'm standing in the kitchen

Carvin' 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 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 keresek é n itt azt mondjá k

Hogy a hí res lakem lefogta a fé rjemet 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 probá ltam

A rendő rsé gen megmagyará zni de nem é rtetté k meg

Yeah 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

Now for 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 the hotel Cicero

The three of us

Boozin' and

Havin' a few laughs

And we run 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 all along

I didn't do it

But if I'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

They took a flower

All along

In its prime

I didn't do it

And then they used it

But if I'd done it

And they abused it

How could you tell me

That I was wrong

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

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

They had it coming

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

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

Miert csukott uncle same bortonbe

Number seventeen the spread eagle

Artistic differences

I betcha

You would

Have done

The same
