And now the 6 merry murderers of the cook county

Jail in their rendition of the cell block tango

Pop!

Squish!

Uh uh!

Lipschitz!

Pop!

Squish!

Uh uh!

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!

You know how people

Have these little habits

That get you down. like bernie.

Bernie, he 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 little bit of sympathy

And there's bernie layin'

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 boot. 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 (pop, six, squish)

He had it coming (uh uh, cicero, lipschitz)

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

Carvin' up the chicken for dinner,

Minding in my own business,

And in storms my husband wilbur,

In a jealous rage.

"you been doing with the milkman?"

He says. he was crazy

And he kept screamin',

"you been doing with the milkman?"

And then he ran into my knife.

He ran into my knife ten times!

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'

(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

That we were wrong?

Could you tell us

That we were wrong?
