Queen Bee
Barbra Streisand
QUEEN BEE As recorded by Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson (From the 1976 Album A STAR IS BORN) [Intro] [Verse 1] The Black Black Widow is sittin’ in the middle Of the web it’s the fly she seeks You may be her lover but you never will recover Cuz she ain’t had a bite for weeks You think you’re the same cuz you got the same name But the widow has a mobil home Remember what I told you She’s got eight arms to hold ya And she’s never gonna let you roam [Verse 2] She’ll tuck you into bed Truck on your head Then she’ll wrap you as a midnight snack Bm N.C. So if you see a spider N.C. Don’t you saddle up beside her N.C. Why you think the widow’s wearing black? Jack (ou!) [Chorus] The Queen bee baby Pray that you be left on your own Uh huh Nothin’ she’ll give you Gonna out live you Ohohohoh N.C. Bm But the queen bee’s never gonna be alone Uh huh [Verse 2] Long before Atlantis there has been a praying mantis And you know why he’s on his knees He may have religion But he’s just a sittin pigeon If a woman even starts to tease He won’t even quibble if she has a little nibble On his neck what a way to go N.C. Now you’ve gone and torn it you ’ve been messin with a hornet N.C. She’s a blue blooded wasp you know And just as you do it she’ll inject you with a fluid That you ain’t even got but none Cm N.C. You’re meat on the plate N.C. Not even first rate she’s gonna feed you to her seventh son [Chorus] Just like a queen bee baby Pray that you may be left on your own own own own own own own Nothin’ she’ll give you Gonna outlive you N.C. Cm But the queen bee’s never gonna be alone Uh huh....uh huh.... [Verse 3] So in conclusion it’s an optical illusion If you think that we’re the weaker race Men got the muscle but theladies got the hustle And the truth is staring in your face The mother bear stalks and the queen of the hawks Is the one who brings home the bread. The lion that is reagle and the bald Headed eagle need a woman just to keep them fed. But come the evening we’re like Adam and his Eve inside the garden hear the serpents sound N.C. It’s so frustrating when your really into mating N.C. And there ain’t a lovin man around [Bridge] Throw out the glory N.C. Bring in the men N.C. It’s so frustrating when your really into mating N.C. And there isn’t a loving man around N.C. It’s so frustrating when your really into mating N.C. Dm And there isn’t a loving man around [Outro] Give me them and I’ll swing Write me a sequel give me an equal Ah ah ah N.C. Oh and I’ll give that man N.C. I said I’m gonna give that loving man N.C. G I said I’m gonna give that loving man I said I’m gonna give that loving sting... Zaap!!!
