And it was well done
And it was well done
Because he did it and deserved it
If you saw
If you lived with
You would do much worse than me

Some people have certain habits
That drive us crazy!
Bernie was like that. He had a habit
Of chewing gum, not just chewing
Making a ball!
Well, one day I came home irritated
Needing affection, attention
And Bernie was there lying on the couch
Drinking beer and chewing gum
Not chewing, making a ball! Then I said
To him: Bernie, if you make
Just one more ball of that stuff there!
And he did!
Then I took the gun and fired two shots
As a warning
In his head!

And it was well done
And it was well done
Because he did it and deserved it
If you saw
If you lived with
You would do much worse than me

I met Ezequiel Young
From Salt Lake City two years ago
He told me he was single
We got along from the start
We moved in together. He would
Go to work, come back home
I would make a drink for him, we
Would have dinner
Oh! It was paradise in a studio apartment
Then I found out: Single, right?
Single my ass!
Not only was he married, no
He had six wives!
He was one of those Mormons, you know?
Then, that night, I made a
Drink for him, as always
But, I don't know
Some people don't get along
Very well with hemlock, right?!

And it was well done, pop!
And it was well done, six!
Because he did it and deserved it
If you saw, Squish!
If you lived with
You would do worse than me

I was in the kitchen cleaning a
Chicken for dinner, thinking about
Life, when suddenly, Wilbur
My husband, came in like a
Madman having a fit of jealousy
You're screwing the milkman!
And he was crazy and kept
Shouting: You're screwing
The milkman! Then he threw himself
On my knife
He threw himself on my knife
Ten times!

If you saw
If you lived with
You would do much worse than me

What am I doing here? They say
That the famous lakem caught my husband
And I chopped off his head. But I'm not
Guilty, I'm innocent
I don't know why Uncle Sam says
That I did it. I tried at the police station
To explain but they didn't understand

Yeah, but did you do it or not?
Huh-huh, innocent!

My sister Veronica and I had a
Double act show and my husband Charlie
Traveled with us. At the end of the show
We did twenty acrobatics in one
Go. Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, double
Eagle wing, flip-flop, mortal
One after the other
Well, that night we were
In Cicero, the three of us, in a hotel room
Drinking and laughing a lot
Together. When suddenly, the ice ran out
And then I went out to get
More. When I came back, I opened the
Door and caught Veronica and Charlie
Doing number 17
The 'eagle wing'!

I was in such a state of shock
That I totally blacked out
I don't remember anything that happened
Only later, when I was washing
The blood off my hands, did I know that they were dead

And it was well done
And it was well done
Both conspired against me
I did nothing
But if I did
I was right because he was wrong

And it was well done, pop!
And it was well done, six!
Because he did it and deserved it
If you saw, Squish!
If you lived with
You would do worse than me

I loved Alvin Lipschitz more than
Anything in this world
He was an artist, sensitive, he was a painter
But he had problems. He kept trying
To find himself. He went out every night to
Find his inner self. And on the
Way he ended up finding Maria
Clarisse, Carmen, and Pedro!
I think we broke up because of
Artistic differences
He thought he was very much alive
And I thought he was very much dead!

Coward bum-bum-bum-asshole
Coward bum-bum-bum-asshole

And it was well done
And it was well done
Because he did it and deserved it
If you saw
If you lived with
You would do much worse than me

And it was well done
And it was well done
Because he did it and deserved it
If you saw
If you lived with
You would do much worse than me

Just one more ball!
Single my ass!
Innocent!
Number 17: The Eagle Wing!
Artistic differences!

You would do much worse than me
