[Verse]
E A C E
Once knew a woman, she was skin and bones
A C E
Invited all the insects to come into her home
A C E
She trained them so well they could answer her phone
A C B
The day finally came when the poor woman was overthrown
[Chorus]
C#m B A C#m
Her husband returned home from voyages at sea
B A C#m
To find his lovely wife dead and a spider sipping tea
B A C#m
He drew his knife and swore he would have the spider's eyes
D E
An army of red ants nearly took him by surprise
[Verse]
E A C E
The sailor and his wife lay dead while neighbors peeked in
A C E
Outside the dogs were mesmerized by the humming from within
A C E
News spread throughout the town of the insects' arrival
A C B
People gathered in the church to pray to God and quote from the Bible
[Chorus]
C#m B A C#m
Men came with gasoline and torches abright
B A C#m
A billion flies covered the skies til it was dark as night
B A C#m
The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees
D E
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
[Instrumental]
