Contexto de la Canción[]
Sue, Roz y Beiste piden a las chicas de New Directions (excepto Rachel y Quinn) interpretar una canción que hable acerca del maltrato a las mujeres. Las chicas deciden interpretar "Cell Block Tango", sin embargo es criticado por Roz quien dice haber pedido una canción que dé apoyo a las mujeres, no una canción que hable de unas dementes vestidas en lencería erótica que asesinan a sus maridos por mascar chicle.

Tina:
You know how people have these little habits
That get you down
Like Bernie, Bernie, He likes 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 lil' bit of sympathy
And there's Bernie layin' on the couch, drinkin' a beer and chewin'
No, not chewin', poppin'
So, I said to him, I said
"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
Tina, Santana, Sugar Y Brittany:
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
I betcha you would have done the same
Sugar:
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, I'd fix him a drink, and we'd have dinner.
And then I found out,
Single, he told me
Single, my butt!
Not only was he married, oh no, he had six wifes
One of those Mormons, you know
So that night, when he came home from work
I fixed him his drink as usual
You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic
Tina, Santana, Brittany y Sugar:
He had it coming, he had it coming
He took a flower in its prime
And then he used it and he abused it
It was a murder but not a crime
Santana:
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
Carvin' up the chicken for dinner, mindin' my own business
And in storms my husband Wilbur in a jealous rage
"You been doin' the milkman"
He says, he was crazy and he kept on screamin'
"You been doin' the milkman"
Then he ran into my knife
He ran into my knife ten times
Tina y Sugar:
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Tina, Santana, Brittany y Sugar:
They had it comin', they had it comin'
They had it comin' all along
'Cause if they used us and they abused us
How could they tell us that we were wrong?
Could you tell us that we were wrong?

- Sino fuera por Tina la canción seria presentada por las Troubletones.
- A diferencia del original, que es más de 7 minutos, la versión Glee es casi 4 minutos de duración. Debido a esto, muchas de las líneas fueron cortadas, tales como las otras tres "historias" de las asesinas.
