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 i'm
Looking for a little 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.

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!

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 boot. 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 (pop, six, squish)
He had it coming (uh uh, cicero, lipschitz)
He took a flower
In it's 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
Carvin' up the chicken for dinner,
Minding in my own business,
And in storms my husband wilbur,
In a jealous rage.
"you been doing with the milkman?"
He says. he was crazy
And he kept screamin',
"you been doing with 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?
Could you tell us
That we were wrong?
