Lyrics

Queen Bee

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The black black widow

Is sittin' in the middle of the web

It's the fly she seeks

You may be her lover

But you never will recover

Cuz she ain't had a bite for weeks

You think you're the same

Cuz you got the same name

But the widow has a mobile home

Remember what I told you

She's got eight arms to hold ya

And she's never gonna let you roam

She'll tuck you into bed

And truck on your head

Then she'll wrap you as a midnight snack

So if you see a spider

Don't you saddle up beside her

Why'd you think the widow's wearing black?

Jack (ou!)

The queen bee baby

Pray that you be left on your own

Uh huh

Nothin' she'll give you

Gonna outlive you

But the queen bee's never gonna be alone

Long before Atlantis

There has been a praying mantis

And you know why he's on his knees

He may have religion

But he's just a sittin' pigeon

If a woman even starts to tease

He won't even quibble

If she has a little nibble on his neck

What a way to go!

Now you've gone and torn it

You've been messin' with a hornet

She's a blue blooded wasp, you know

And just as you do it

She'll inject you with a fluid

That you ain't even got but none

You're meat on the plate

Not even first rate

She's gonna feed you to her seventh son

Just like a queen bee baby

Pray that you may be left on your own

Nothin' she'll give you

Gonna outlive you

But the queen bee's never gonna be alone

So in conclusion

It's an optical illusion

If you think that we're the weaker race

Men got the muscle

But the ladies got the hustle

And the truth is staring in your face

The mother bear stalks

And the queen of the hawks

Is the one who brings home the bread

The lion that is reagle

And the bald-headed eagle

Need a woman just to keep them fed

But come the evening

We're like Adam and his Eve

Inside the garden

Hear the serpent's sound

It's so frustrating

When your really into mating

And there ain't a lovin' man around

Whoever wrote the story

Threw out the glory

Bring in the men

It's so frustrating

When you're really into mating

And there ain't a loving man around

It's so frustrating

When you're really into mating

And there ain't a loving man around

Give me them and I'll swing

Write me a sequel

Give me an equal

Oh and I'll give that man

I said I'm gonna give that loving man

I said I'm gonna give that loving man

I said I'm gonna give that loving sting...

Zaap!!!
