Fish Leslie - Female of the Species Lyrics

  • He shouts to scare the monster who will often turn aside
  • But the she-bear thus accosted wrends the peasent tooth and nail,
  • For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
  • When Nog, the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man
  • He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can
  • but his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail,
  • For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
  • When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Heurons and Chaktaws
  • They prayed to be delivered from the vengence of the sqaws
  • Twas the women not the warriors turn those stark enthusiasts pale
  • For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
  • Man's timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say
  • For the woman that god gave him isn't his to give away
  • But when hunter meets with husband, each confirms the other's tale,
  • That the female of his species is more deadly than the male.
  • She who faces death by turture for each life beneith her breast
  • May not deal in dought or pity, must not swerve or fact or jest
  • These are purely male diversions, not in these her honor dwells
  • She, the other law they live by is that law and nothing else
  • Unprovoked and off her charges, even so the she-bear fights
  • Speech that trips, coorodes or poisons, even so the cobra bites
  • Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
  • and the victim writhes in anguish like the Jesuit with the squaw.
  • So it comes that man, the coward when he gathers to confer-
  • with his fellow braves in council dare not leave a place for her
  • While at war with life and conciounce, he uplifts his erring hands
  • to some god of abstract justice that no woman understands
  • And man knows it- knows more over that the woman that god gave him
  • must command but may not govern, shall enthrall but not enslave him
  • And she knows because she warns him and her instincts never fail
  • That the female of her species is more deadly than the male.
