Lyrics from a vaudeville performance:
Para hacer presa del ser amado
solo me basta mi telaraña;
espero, acecho con gran cuidado,
y en ell momento más deseado
víctima tiene la "Miss Araña".
Son versos de una factura especial, incisiva, malintencionada y emponzoñada, que son su mejor aliciente para despertar torpes apetitos.
Mil Gracias,
Barbara

a special, incisive, ill-intentioned, and stinging posture
