[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E Once knew a Awoman, she was Cskin and Ebones
Invited all the Ainsects to Ccome into her Ehome
She trained them so Awell they could Canswer her Ephone
The day finally Ccame when the Cpoor woman was overBthrown
[Chorus]
C#m Her husband retBurned home from vAoyages at sC#mea
To find his lovely Bwife dead and a Aspider sipping C#mtea
He drew his knife and Bswore he would Ahave the spider's C#meyes
An army of red Dants nearly took him by surEprise
[Verse]
E The sailor and his Awife lay dead while Cneighbors peeked Ein
Outside the dogs were Amesmerized by the Chumming from wiEthin
News spread througAhout the town of the Cinsects' arErival
People gathered Ain the church to Cpray to God and quote from the BBible
[Chorus]
C# Men came with Bmgasoline and Atorches aC#mbright
A billion flies coBvered the skies til Ait was dark as C#mnight
The cries were barely Bheard beneath the Abuzzing of the C#mbees
Now the insects Drule so get down on your Eknees
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
E You God-fearing Apeople had Cbetter beEware
Gather up your Aidols and beCgin to preEpare
The time has come, the Alocusts have Ctaken the Eair
Negotiations Aare in effect theC bugs don't even Bcare
[Chorus]
C# Men came with Bmgasoline and Atorches aC#mbright
A billion flies coBvered the skies til Ait was dark as C#mnight
The cries were barely Bheard beneath the Abuzzing of the C#mbees
Now the insects Brule so get down Aon your C#mknees
