He only had himself to blame

I bet you would have done the same!

Liz:You know how people have these little habits that get you down. Like Bernie. Bernie, he liked to chew gum. No, not chew. Pop. So, I came home this one day and I'm really irritated, and I'm looking for a little bit of sympathy and there's Bernie lyin' on the couch, drinkin' a beer and chewin'. No, not chewin'. Poppin'! So, I said to him, I said, Bernie, 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.

Annie: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, fixing a drink, we had dinner and then I found out. Single he told me? Single, my ass.Not only was he married...oh, no, he had six wives. One of those mormons, do you know? So that night,
when he came home from work, I fixed in his drink. As usual. You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.
All:He had it coming
He had it coming
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!
June:Now, I'm standing in the kitchen carvin' up the chicken for dinner, minding my own business,and in storms my husband Wilbur, in a jealous rage. You been screwin' the milkman, he says. He was crazy and he kept screamin' you been screwin' the milkman. 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: (Speaking slavonic language)
Roxie: Yeah, but did you do it?
Hunyak: Uh uh, not guilty!
Velma:My sister, Veronica and I did this double act and my husband, Charlie, used to travel round with us. Now, for the last number in our act, we did these 20 acrobatic tricks on a row. One, two, three four, five...splits, spread eagles, back flips, flip flops, one right after the other. So, this one night before the show we're down at the hotel Cicero. The three of us, boozin' havin' a few laughs and we ran out of ice. So I go out to get some. I come back, open the door and there's Veronica and Charlie doing number seventeen – the spread eagle. 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'd even knew, they were dead!
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
I bet you'd tell me that I was wrong 2Х
Mona:I loved Alvin Lipschitz more than I can possibly say. He was a real artistic guy... Sensitive... a painter. But he was always trying to find himself. He'd go out every night looking for himself and on the way… He found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving. I guess you could 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
They had it comin'
They had it comin'
They had it comin' all along
And then they used us
And they abused us
I bet they'd tell us that we were wrong?
