You know how people



have these little habits that



get you down. Like Bernie.



Bernie liked to chew gum.



No, not chew. Pop. Well,



came home this one day and



I am really irritated,



looking for a little sympathy



and there's Bernie layin' on



the couch, drinkin' a beer and



chewin'. No, not chewin'



Popin'. So, I said to him,



said, "Bernie, you pop that



gum one more time..."



And he did!

He had it coming



He had it coming



He only had himself to blame







I If you'd have been there



If you'd have seen it



and I betcha you would



Have done the same!



He had it coming

So I took the shotgun off the wall

and fired two warning shots...

...into his head.

He had it coming

He had it coming

I betcha you would

Have done the same!







ANNIE

GIRLS



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 work, I'd mix



him a drink, we'd have dinner. Well, it was



like heaven in two and a half rooms.



And then I found out,



"Single" he told me?



Single, my ass. Not only was he married.



...oh, no, he had six wives.



One of those Mormons,



you know. So that night when



he came home. I mixed him



his drink as usual.

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!

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!





ANNIE

You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic!



LIZ, ANNIE, JUNE, MONA, VELMA & HUNYAK

Hah! He had it coming Pop, Six, Squish, Uh-Uh,

He had it coming Cicero, Lipschitz!

He took a flower

In its prime

And the he used it Pop, Six, Squish, Uh-Uh,

And he abused it Cicero, Lipschitz!

It was a murder

But not a crime!







JUNE

GIRLS



Now, I'm standing in the kitchen



carvin' up the chicken for dinner,



minding my own business,



and in storms my husband Wilbur,



in a jealous rage.



"You been screwin' the milkman,"



he says. He was crazy



and he kept on screamin'



"You been screwin' the milkman,"

Pop, Six,

Squish, Uh-Uh,

Cicero, Lipschitz!

Pop, Six,

Squish, Uh-Uh,

JUNE

And then he ran into my knife! He ran into my knife TEN TIMES!



ALL

If you'd have been there

If you'd have seen it

I betcha you would have 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...



JUNE

Yeah, but did you do it?





HUNYAK

UH UH, not guilty!







VELMA

GIRLS



My sister, Veronica, and I did this double act



and my husband, Charlie, used to travel



round 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. Well, this one night



we are in Cicero, the three of us, sittin' up



in a 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



And there's Veronica and



Charlie doing Number Seventeen



-the spread eagle.

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!

He had

It coming

He had

It coming...





VELMA

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?



VELMA & GIRLS

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

It was a murder

That I was wrong? But not a crime!







MONA

GIRLS



I love Alvin Lipschitz



More than I can possibly say.



He was a real artistic guy...



Sensitive...a painter.



But he was troubled.



He was always trying



to find himself.



He'd go out every night



looking for himself



and along the way



he found Ruth,



Gladys,



Rosemary and Irving.

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!





MONA

I guess you can 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.
