[LIZ (Spoken)]

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, 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.

[GIRLS]

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!

[ANNIE (Spoken)]

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 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 from work, I fixed him

his drink as usual.

You know, some guys just can't hold

their arsenic.

[LIZ,ANNIE,JUNE,MONA]

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!

[VELMA AND HUNYAK]

Pop, six, squish, uh-uh

Cicero, Lipschitz

[JUNE (Spoken)]

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 screamin',

you been screwin the milkman.

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 (Spoken)]

Mit keresek, én itt? Azt mondják,

hogy a híres lakem lefogta a férjemet én meg

lecsaptam a fejét. De nem igaz, én ártatlan

vagyok. Nem tudom miért mondja

Uncle Sam, hogy én tettem. Probáltam

a rendőrségen megmagyarázni de nem értették meg...

[JUNE (Spoken)]

Yeah, but did you do it?

[HUNYAK]

UH UH, not guilty!

[VELMA]

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?

[VELMA]

They had it coming

[GIRLS]

They had it coming

[VELMA]

They had it coming

[GIRLS]

They had it coming

[VELMA]

They had it coming

[GIRLS]

They took a flower

[VELMA]

All along

[GIRLS]

In its prime

[VELMA]

I didn't do it

[GIRLS]

And then they used it

[VELMA]

But if I'd done it

[GIRLS]

And they abused it

[VELMA]

How could you tell me

[GIRLS]

It was a murder

[VELMA]

That I was wrong?

[GIRLS]

But not a crime!

[MONA]

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.

[ALL]

The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

[LIZ,ANNIE,MONA]

[LIZ,ANNIE,MONA]

'Cause if they used us

[VELMA,JUNE,HUNYAK]

'Cause if they used us

[LIZ,ANNIE,MONA]

And they abused us

[VELMA,JUNE,HUNYAK]

And they abused us

[LIZ,ANNIE,MONA]

[LIZ,ANNIE,MONA]

Himself

To blame.

If you'd have been there

If you'd have seen it

I betcha

You would

Have done

The same!
