    Pop! 
    Six! 
    Squish! 
    Uh 
    uh! 
    Cicero, 
    Lipschitz! 

    And 
    now, 
    the 
    six 
    merry 
    murderesses 

    of 
    the 
    Cook 
    County 
    Jail 

    In 
    their 
    rendition 
    of 
    'The 
    Cell 
    Block 
    Tango'! 

    Cicero, 
    Lipschitz! 

    Pop!

    Pop! 
    Six!

    Uh

    Cicero,

    Chorus 1
    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 

    betcha 
    you 
    would 
    have 
    done 
    the 

    Interlude 1
    (same!) 
    Pop! 
    Six! 
    Squish! 

    Uh 
    uh!

    Verse 1
    You 
    know 
    how 
    people 
    have 
    these 
    little 
    habits 

    that 
    get 
    you 
    down? 

    Like... 
    Bernie! 

    Bernie 
    liked 
    to 
    chew 
    gum 

    No, 
    not 
    chew, 
    pop! 

    So, 
    came 
    home 
    this 
    one 
    day 

    and 
    I'm 
    really 
    irritated 

    And 
    I'm 
    looking 
    for 
    little 
    sympathy 

    and 
    there's 
    Bernie 

    Lying 
    on 
    the 
    couch, 

    drinking 
    beer 
    and 
    chewing 


    No, 
    not 
    chewing, 
    pop
    ping! 

    So, 
    said 
    to 
    him, 
    said 

    "You 
    pop 
    that 
    gum 
    one 
    more 
    time", 

    and 
    he 
    did 

    So 
    took 
    the 
    shotgun 
    off 
    the 
    wall 

    and 
    fired 
    two 
    warning 
    shots 

    Into 
    his 
    head! 

    Chorus 2
    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 

    betcha 
    you 
    would 
    have 
    done 
    the 

    Interlude 2
    (same) 


    Verse 2
    (He 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 
    met 
    Ezekiel 
    Young 

    from 
    Salt 
    Lake 
    City 
    about 
    two 
    years 
    a
    go 

    And 
    he 
    told 
    me 
    he 
    was 
    single 

    And 
    we 
    hit 
    it 
    off 
    right 
    a
    way 

    So, 
    we 
    started 
    living 
    together 

    He'd 
    go 
    to 
    work, 
    he'd 
    come 
    home, 

    I'd 
    mix 
    him 
    drink, 
    we'd 
    have 
    dinner 

    (He 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 
    And 
    then 
    found 
    out 

    Single 
    he 
    told 
    me? 
    Single 
    my 
    ass! 

    Not 
    only 
    was 
    he 
    married, 
    oh 
    no! 

    He 
    had 
    six 
    wives 

    One 
    of 
    those 
    Mor
    mons, 
    you 
    know? 

    So 
    that 
    night, 
    when 
    he 
    came 
    home 
    from 
    work 

    mixed 
    him 
    his 
    drink 
    as 
    usu
    al 

    (...had 
    himself 
    to 
    blame) 

    You 
    know, 
    some 
    guys 
    just 

    can't 
    hold 
    their 
    arsenic! 

    Chorus 3
    He 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (pop, 
    six) 

    He 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (cicero) 

    He 
    took 
    flower 
    in 
    its 
    prime! 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    used 
    it 
    and 
    he 
    a
    bused 
    it 

    It 
    was 
    murder, 
    but 
    not 
    crime! 

    Verse 3
    Cicero, 
    Lipschitz! 

    Now, 
    I'm 
    standing 
    in 
    the 
    kitchen 

    I'm 
    carving 
    up 
    the 
    chicken 
    for 
    dinner 

    Minding 
    my 
    own 
    business, 

    and 
    in 
    storms 
    my 
    husband 

    Wilbur 
    in 
    jealous 
    rage 

    "You 
    been 
    screwing 
    the 
    milkman!" 
    he 
    said 

    He 
    was 
    crazy, 
    and 
    he 
    kept 
    on 
    screaming, 

    "You 
    been 
    screwing 
    the 
    milkman!" 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    ran 
    into 
    my 
    knife 

    He 
    ran 
    into 
    my 
    knife 
    ten 
    times 

    If 
    you'd 
    have 
    been 
    there, 
    if 
    you'd 
    have 
    seen 
    it 

    betcha 
    you 
    would 
    have 
    done 
    the 

    Bridge 1
    (same) 
    Mit 
    keresek 
    én 
    itt? 

    Azt 
    mondják, 
    híres 
    lakóm 
    lefogta 
    férjem, 

    én 
    meg 
    lecsaptam 
    fejét 

    De 
    nem 
    igaz 

    Én 
    ártatlan 
    vagyok 

    Nem 
    tudom, 
    miért 
    mondja 
    Uncle 
    Sam, 

    hogy 
    én 
    tettem 

    Próbáltam 

    rendőrségen 
    megmagyarázni, 

    de 
    nem 
    értették 
    meg 

    Yeah, 
    but 
    did 
    you 
    do 
    it? 

    Uh 
    uh, 
    not 
    guilty! 

    Verse 4
    (He 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    My 
    sister, 
    Veronica 
    and 
    had 
    this 
    double 
    act 

    And 
    my 
    husband, 
    Charlie, 

    travel 
    around 
    with 
    us 

    Now, 
    for 
    the 
    last 
    number 
    in 
    our 
    act, 

    we 
    did 
    these 
    20 
    acrobatic 
    tricks 
    in 
    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, 
    boozing, 

    having 
    few 
    laughs 

    And 
    we 
    ran 
    out 
    of 
    ice, 

    so 
    got 
    out 
    to 
    get 
    some 

    come 
    back, 
    open 
    the 
    door 

    And 
    there's 
    Veronica 
    and 
    Charlie 

    doing 
    number 
    seventeen, 
    the 
    spread 
    eagle! 

    Well, 
    was 
    in 
    such 
    state 
    of 
    shock 

    completely 
    blacked 
    out, 

    can't 
    remember 
    thing 

    It 
    wasn't 
    until 
    later, 

    when 
    was 
    washing 
    the 
    blood 
    off 
    my 
    hands, 

    even 
    knew 
    they 
    were 
    dead! 

    Chorus 4
    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (they 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (they 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    all 
    a
    long! 

    didn't 
    do 
    it 
    (she 
    didn't 
    do 
    it) 

    But 
    if 
    I'd 
    done 
    it 
    (but 
    if 
    she'd 
    done 
    it) 

    How 
    could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 

    that 
    was 
    wrong? 


    Chorus 5
    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (they 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (they 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    all 
    a
    long 

    didn't 
    do 
    it 
    (and 
    they 
    abused 
    it) 

    But 
    if 
    I'd 
    done 
    it 

    How 
    could 
    you 
    tell 
    me 

    that 
    was 
    wrong? 

    Verse 5
    (He 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 
    loved 
    Alvin 
    Lipschitz 

    More 
    than 
    can 
    possibly 
    say 

    He 
    was 
    real 
    artistic 
    guy, 

    sensitive, 
    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 

    guess 
    you 
    can 
    say 
    we 
    broke 
    up 

    because 
    of 
    artistic 
    differ
    ences 

    He 
    saw 
    himself 
    as 
    a
    live 

    And 
    saw 
    him 
    dead! 

    The 
    dirty 
    bum, 
    bum, 
    bum, 
    bum, 
    bum! 

    The 
    dirty 
    bum, 
    bum, 
    bum, 
    bum, 
    bum! 

    Chorus 6
    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (they 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (they 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    They 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    all 
    a
    long! 

    'Cause 
    if 
    they 
    used 
    us, 

    and 
    they 
    a
    bused 
    us 

    How 
    could 
    they 
    tell 
    us 

    that 
    we 
    were 
    wrong? 

    Chorus 7
    He 
    had 
    it 
    coming 
    (he 
    had 
    it 
    coming) 

    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 

    betcha 
    you 
    would 
    have 
    done 
    the 

    Outro 1
    (same) 
    You 
    pop 
    that 
    gum 
    one 
    more 
    time 

    Ten 
    times 

    Number 
    seventeen, 
    the 
    spread 
    eagle! 

    Pop! 
    Six! 
    Squish! 
    Uh 
    uh!

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      "

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      "

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
