Lyrics: Cell Block Tango

And now the six merry 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
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
Pop, six, squish, uh uh, Cicero, Lipschitz

You know how people have these little habits hat get you down
Like Bernie, Bernie like to chew gum
No, not chew, pop
So, I come home this one day
And I'm really irritated and looking for a little bit of sympathy
And there's Bernie lying on the couch drinking a beer
And chewing, no, not chewing, popping
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

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 butt
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, 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 minding my own business
And in storms my husband Wilbur in a jealous rage
"You been doing the milkman," he says
He was crazy, and he kept on screaming
"You been doing 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 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?
Could you tell us that we were wrong?
