Liz: Girls:
You know how people (He had it coming)
have these little habits that (He had it coming)
get you down. Like Bernie. (He only had himself to blame).
Bernie liked to chew gum.
No, not chew. Pop. Well, I (If you'd have been there)
came home this one day and (If you'd have seen it)
I am really irritated, and (I betcha you would)
looking for a little sympathy (Have done the same!)
and there's Bernie layin' on (He had it coming)
the couch, drinkin' a beer and (He had it coming)
chewin'. No, not chewin'. (He only had himself to blame.)
Poppin'. So, I said to him, I (If you'd have been there)
said, "Bernie, you pop that (If you'd have seen it)
gum one more time..." (I betcha you would)
And he did! (Have done the same!)

Liz:
So I took the shotgun off the wall
and fired two warning shots...
...into his head.

All:
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!

Liz: Girls:
I met Ezekiel Young from (He had it coming)
Salt Lake City about two years ago (He had it coming)
and he told me he was single (He only had himself)
and we hit it off right away. (To blame.)
So, we started living together. (If you'd have been there)
He'd go to work, he'd come work, I'd mix (If you'd have seen it)
Him a drink, we'd have dinner. Well, it was (I betcha you would)
like heaven in two and a half rooms. (Have done the same!)
And then I found out, (He had it coming)
"Single" he told me? (He had it coming)
Single, my ass. Not only was he married. (He only had himself)
...oh, no, he had six wives. (To blame.)
One of those Mormons, (If you'd have been there)
you know. So that night when (If you'd have seen it)
he came home. I mixed him (I betcha you would)
his drink as usual. (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 then 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 (Pop, Six,)
carvin' up the chicken for dinner, (Squish, Uh-Uh,)
minding my own business, (Cicero, Lipschitz!)
and in storms my husband Wilbur, (Pop, Six,)
in a jealous rage. (Squish, Uh-Uh,)
"You been screwin' the milkman," (Cicero, Lipschitz!)
he says. He was crazy (Pop, Six,)
and he kept on screamin' (Squish, Uh-Uh,)
"You been screwin' the milkman," (Cicero, Lipschitz!)

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?
Hanyak:
UH UH, not guilty!

Velma: Girls:
My sister, Veronica, and I did this double act (He had it coming)
and my husband, Charlie, used to travel (He had it coming)
round with us. Now for the last number in (He only had)
our act, we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a (Himself)
row, one, two, three, four, five... (To blame.)
Splits, spread eagles, back flips, flip flops, (If you'd have been there)
one right after the other. Well, this one night (If you'd have seen it)
we are in Cicero, the three of us, sittin' up (I betcha)
in a hotel room, boozin' and havin' a few (You would)
laughs and we ran out of ice, (Have done)
so I went out to get some. (The same!)
I come back, open the door (He had)
And there's Veronica and (It coming)
Charlie doing Number Seventeen (He had)
-the spread eagle. (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.

Girls:
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 (He had it coming)
More than I can possibly say. (He had it coming)
He was a real artistic guy... (He only had)
Sensitive...a painter. (Himself)
But he was troubled. (To blame.)
He was always trying (If you'd have been)
to find himself. (There)
He'd go out every night (If you'd have seen it)
looking for himself (I betcha)
and along the way (You would)
he found Ruth, (Have done)
Gladys, (The same!)
Rosemary and Irving.

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.
If you'd have been there
If you'd have seen it
I betcha
You would
Have done
The same!

Liz:
You pop that gum one more time!

Annie:
Single my ass.

June:
Ten times!

Hunyak:
Miert csukott Uncle Sam bortonbe.

Velma:
Number Seventeen - the spread eagle.

Mona:
Artistic differences.

All:
I betcha you would have done the same!
