 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 
                C             C                  B 
The day finally came when the poor woman was overthrown

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 


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 


C#             Bm           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
