they say in ancient times , man , that women ruled the world
that the goddess was the one who laid it down
well , i got me a woman as alive as the day
gonna breathe a whisper , knock you right down to the ground

so go ahead , man , and say what you came to say
“the black widow’s a spider , the black widow’s a spider”
then go and prepare for your dying day
won’t take one minute ’til you’re curled up dead beside her
oh yeah!
