Pretty Little Fly

[Intro - Spoken] Mmm-hmm Well now look what the night done dragged in Pretty little fly buzzin’ round my window actin’ like he lost his way Come on in, baby I ain’t gonna hurt you not right away [Verse 1] I swept out my parlor hung the moon up high put a little sugar where the bad boys fly I lit one candle then I lit two more left just enough shadow by the bedroom door He tapped on the window with his nervous little feet I said, “Come on, honey I got something sweet” [Pre-Chorus] He said, “Miss Spider I should probably pass you by” I said, “Damn, little baby that is a pretty lie” [Chorus] Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly I got trouble on the table and a twinkle in my eye Don’t stand there buzzin’ like you don’t know why Come into my parlor pretty little fly [Post-Chorus - Spoken] Mmm that’s right wipe your feet But don’t get too comfortable unless you mean it [Verse 2] I crossed four legs slowly kept four on the floor He said, “Good Lord, woman what you need so many for?” I said, “One for the rhythm one for the wine one to hold you steady when you change your mind” He said, “This looks dangerous” I said, “Baby, you ain’t wrong but you been flying in circles round this light all night long” [Pre-Chorus] He said, “Miss Spider I believe I ought to go” I said, “Hell, little honey you shoulda thought of that before” [Chorus] Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly I got trouble on the table and a twinkle in my eye Don’t stand there buzzin’ like you don’t know why Come into my parlor pretty little fly [Bridge] Now mama told you better preacher told you too Don’t go messin’ round with a woman dressed in blue But mama ain’t here and preacher done gone and that web in the corner keeps singin’ your song You can call it wicked you can call it sin But you knocked three times and I let you in [Break - Spoken] Oh, don’t look scared now you knew what this was I saw you smiling from the damn porch [Final Chorus] Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly I got silk on the ceiling and fire in my eyes Don’t blame the whiskey don’t blame the sky You came here grinnin’ pretty little fly Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly I got trouble on the table and a twinkle in my eye Don’t stand there buzzin’ like you don’t know why Come into my parlor pretty little fly [Outro - Spoken] Mmm-hmm that’s it come a little closer Now don’t pull on that silk, baby you’ll only make it tight [Outro - Sung] Pretty little fly pretty little fly Come into my parlor pretty little fly
