Don't give your love to sexy Ida 'Cause she's the sister of a black widow spider Don't try your love on sexy Ida You might as well try it with the spider She's got his long black hair It's a hangin' on down her back Long black pretty legs And she walks just like a cat Hypnotic eyes And a stacked up love sacks She not only wants your love She wants your life after that don't do it Don't give your love to sexy Ida 'Cause she's the sister of a black widow spider And you better not try it Don't try your love on sexy Ida You might as well try it on the spider She's got a kingsized bed With satin sheets of love And you'll never want to leave now The web of love she weaves But I'll tell you Don't give your love to sexy Ida... You gotta beware of sexy Ida 'Cause she tries to look co sweef and kind But her looks can be deceivin' 'Cause her love is like strychnine So don't give your love to sexy Ida 'Cause she's the sister of a black widow spider. And not give your love to Ida Don't try your love on sexy Ida You might as well try it on the spider No No don't give your love to sexy Ida
