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

Chorus

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

"You know how some ponies have those really annoying habits that get you down? Like the Cakes! They were a couple I worked for. One day I was working really hard, feelling really irritated. When they came in. They were arguing again. They were yelling so loud and at me too. About this or that. I got really annoyed and I said 'If you guys yell on more time.' and they did. So I took the shotgun under the counter and fired two warning shots. Into their heads."

Chorus

"I met Braeburn in Appleloosa about two years ago. He told me he was single and we hit it off right away. We dated a bit before moving in together. He'd go off to work then he'd come home. I'd fix him a drink of my special apple cider and we'd have dinner. A swell time. Then I found out. Single he told me! Single my ass. Not only was he married, oh nelly, he had six wives. One of those Mormons ya know. So later that night, when he came home as usual, I fixed him a drink. Ya know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic."

Chorus

"Now, see this. I'm standing in the workout room. I'm cutting up some rope for a new trick when my husband Soarin comes in. He's in a jealous rage. 'You've been screwin' Fire Streak.' he keeps saying. 'You've been screwin' Fire Streak.' Then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times."

Chorus

"What am I doing here? They say that my famous tenant held down my husband while I cut off his head. But it's not true, I'm innocent. I don't know why the guards say I did it. I tried to explain at the police station, but they didn't understand."

"But yeah, did you do it?"
"Uh uh, not guilty."

"My sister, Sweetie Bell and I had this double act. And my husband Blueblood traveled with us. The last number in our act had 20 acrobatic tricks in a row. One two three four five, splits, spread eagles Back flips, flip flops one right after the other. It was fabulous. Well, this one night before the show, we were down at the hotel in Cicero. The three us us having a few drinks. Having few laughs and we ran out of ice so I decided to go get some. I came back and when I went in. There was my sister and husband. Doing number seventeen, the spread eagle. It was such a stock to me. I completely blacked out. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead."

Chorus

"I loved Sabar Lipschitz more than I could ever know. He was a real tough guy, stoic, a bouncer. But he was always trying to find a better club. He'd go out on trips looking for a great place. And on the way, he found Amberlocks, Autumn Gem, Dandy Brush, and Esmeralda. I guess you can say we broke up because of indisputable differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead."

Chorus

You yell one more time.
Single my ass.
Ten times.

Why me?
Number seventeen, the spread eagle.
Indisputable differences.

"I bet you would of done the same, Twilight." Applejack said.
