1
I once knew a woman, she was skin and bones
2
Invited all the insects to come into her home
3
She trained them so well, they could answer her phone
4
But the day finally came when the poor woman was overthrown
5
Her husband returned home from voyages at sea
6
To find his lovely wife dead and a spider sipping tea
7
He drew his knife and swore he would have the spider's eyes
8
An army of red ants nearly took him by surprise
9
The sailor and his wife lay dead while neighbors peeked in
10
Outside the dogs were mesmerized by the humming from within
11
News spread throughout the town of the insects' arrival
12
People gathered in the church to pray to God and quote from the Bible
13
And men came with gasoline and torches abright
14
A billion flies covered the skies 'til it was dark as night
15
The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees
16
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
17
And the town crier said, ‽You God fearing people had better beware
18
Gather up your idols and begin to prepare
19
The time has come, the locusts have taken the air
20
Negotiation's are in effect and the bugs don't even careâ€
21
Men came with gasoline and torches abright
22
A billion flies covered the skies 'til it was dark as night
23
The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees
24
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
25
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
26
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
27
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
28
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
