You know how people
85
have these little habits
86
That get you down. Like Bernie.
87
Bernie like to chew gum.
88
No, not chew. POP.
89
So I came home this one day
90
And I am really irritated, and I'm
91
looking for a bit of sympathy
92
and there's Bernie layin'
93
on the couch, drinkin' a beer
94
and chewin'. No, not chewin'.
95
Poppin'. So, I said to him,
96
I said, "you pop that
97
gum one more time..."
98
and he did.
99
So I took the shotgun off the wall
100
and I fired two warning shots...
101
...into his head.

I met Ezekiel Young from
112
Salt Lake city about two years ago
113
and he told me he was single
114
and we hit it off right away.
115
So, we started living together.
116
He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd
117
fix him a drink, We'd have dinner.
118
And then I found out,
119
"Single" he told me?
120
Single, my ass. Not only
121
was he married
122
...oh, no, he had six wives.
123
One of those Mormons, you know. So that
124
night, when he came home, I fixed him
125
his drink as usual.
126
You know, some guys just can't hold
127
their arsenic.
128
[LIZ,ANNIE,JUNE,MONA]
129
Hah! He had it coming
130
He had it coming
131
He took a flower
132
In its prime
133
And then he used it
134
And he abused it
135
It was a murder
136
But not a crime!

Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
142
carvin' up the chicken for dinner,
143
minding my own business,
144
and in storms my husband Wilbur,
145
in a jealous rage.
146
"You been screwin' the milkman,"
147
he says. He was crazy
148
and he kept screamin',
149
"you been screwin the milkman."
150
And then he ran into my knife.
151
He ran into my knife ten times.."

My sister, Veronica and
169
I had this double act
170
and my husband, Charlie,
171
traveled around with us.
172
Now, for the last number in
173
our act, we did 20 acrobatic tricks
174
one two three four,five...splits, spread eagles,
175
back flips,flip flops,
176
one right after the other.
177
Well, this one night we were in the hotel Cicero,
178
the three of us,
179
boozin' and
180
havin' a few laughs
181
when we run out of ice.
182
So I went out to get some.
183
I come back, open the door
184
and there's Veronica and
185
Charlie doing Number Seventeen-
186
the spread eagle.
187
Well, I was in such a state of shock,
188
I completely blacked out.I can't remember a thing.
189
It wasn't until later,
190
when I was washing the blood off my hands
191
I even knew they were dead.
192
They had it coming
193
They had it coming
194
They had it coming all along
195
I didn't do it
196
But if I'd done it
197
How could you tell me that I was wrong?
198

213
In its prime
214
[VELMA]
215
I didn't do it
216
[GIRLS]
217

218
[VELMA]
219

And they abused it
222
[VELMA]

231
I loved Alvin Lipschitz
232
more than I can possibly say.
233
He was a real artistic guy...
234
sensitive... a painter.
235
But
236
He was always trying
237
to find himself.
238
He'd go out every night
239
looking for himself
240
and on the way
241
he found Ruth,
242
Gladys,
243
Rosemary and Irving.
244
I guess you can say we broke
245
up because of artistic differences.
246
He saw himself as alive
247
and I saw him dead.
