Lyrics

When that black widow comes a creepin'
All you young men pucker up and smile
And death becomes a fashion
& you know that she's just your style

I got a .38 special underneath my head
I got a Louisville Slugger underneath my bed
I got a jack knife stuffed in the night stand drawer
Somewhere there's 13 women tryin' to even the score
13 women tryin' to even the score

Early one mornin' on the west side of town
3 of these women tried to gun me down
Because I played with their hearts, I told them lies
But when they saw my diamond rings they got hypnotized
When they saw my diamond rings they got hypnotized

Late one afternoon, April 4
Landlady came collecting at my back door
I told her my story I had no money to pay
She left 15 minutes later smilin' "See you in May!"
She left 15 minutes later smilin' "See you in May!"

I've hustled 8 women at sunset, hustled 5 before sunrise
Ten of them as me & 3 while in disguise
I hustled 13 helpless mice just like a cat on the prowl
I hustled them and loved them yeah I'm hustlin' one now
I hustled them and loved them yeah I'm hustlin' one now

You may see me in the blue lights of the ballroom floor
Or sittin' in the corner with my back to the wall
I'll be with #14 she's the one I adore
Until one of my women finally evens the score
Until one of my women finally evens the score.

Hustle hustler!
