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
Looking for a little bit 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 dome 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, and we 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 worked, I fixed him
His drink as usual
You know, some guys just can't hold
Their arsenic

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!

Pop, six, squish, uh-uh
Cicero, lipschitz

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 doing the milkman
He says. He was crazy
And he kept on screamin'
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 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?
How could you tell us
That we were wrong?
