The black, black widow is sittin' in the middle of the web,<br>It's the fly she seeks.<br>You may be her lover but you never will recover,<br>'cause she ain't had a bite for weeks<br>You think your the same, 'cause you got the same name,<br>But the widow has a mobile home.<br>Remember what I told you, she got eight arms to hold you,<br>And she's never gonna let your roam.<br>She'll tuck in your head, then she'll wrap you as a midnight snack.<br>So if you see a spider, don't you slide up beside her<br>Why'd you think the widow's wearin' black? <br><br>Queen bee, baby<br>Pray that you may be left on your own,uh huh<br>Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you<br>But the queen bee's never gonna be alone.<br>Long before atlantis there has been a praying mantis<br>And you knows why he's on his knees.<br>He may have religion but but he's just a sittin' pigeon<br>If a woman even stars to tease.<br>He won't even quibble if she has a little nibble on his neck, what a way to go<br>And now you done and torne it!<br>You been messin' with a hornet,<br>She's a blue-blood wasp, you know.<br>And just as you do it,<br>She'll inject yiu with a fluid that you ain't even got but none.<br>You're the meat on the plate, not even first rate,<br>She's gonna feed you to her seventh son.<br>The queen bee's story, is the power and the glory,<br>Of the women who have ruled alone.<br>Little nefertiti used to consummate a treaty<br>In the bad as much as on the throne<br>Everyone was urgin' queen elizabeth the virgin,<br>Just to try a man but she'd refuse.<br>Queen isabella was the one who said<br>This fella named columbus ought to take a cruise.<br>Did'nt cleopatra try to gratify and satisfy<br>The men she held within the grasp? <br>The pyramids where shakin' from the peace that she was makin'<br>But she ended with a stupid asp.<br>The queen bee, no way, and even tho' they think they're the kings<br>(escatological things)<br>Who are they foolin'? playin' at rulin',<br>It's the queen behind the scene who pulls the strings.<br>So, in conclusion, it's an optical illusion,<br>If you think thatwe're the weaker race.<br>Men got the muscle, but the ladies got the hustle,<br>And the truth is staring in your face.<br>The mother bear stalks, and the queen of the hawks,<br>Is the one who brings home the bread.<br>The lion that is regal, and the bald headed eagle,<br>Need a woman just to keep them fed.<br>But come the evenin', we're like adam and his eve,<br>Insidethe garden. hear the serpent's sond? <br>It's so frustratin', when you're really into martin',<br>And thereain't a lovin' man around.<br>Whoever wrote this story<br>Throw out the glory<br>Bring in the men (give me them an I'll swing)<br>Write me a sequel<br>Give me an equal<br>And I'll give that man<br>I'm gonna give that lovin' man<br>I said I'm gonna give that lovin' man<br>I'm gonna give that lovin' sting! zap!
