It creeps around my fingers
Scuttles right past my toes
Crawling all around me
No way my fear will go

It's hidden in the bath
By the plug in the sink
Oh yes it is
This one has seven legs here
But I don't dare to blink

You know they scare me, they always will
When I see spiders, they make me feel ill
No explanation, no rationale
Just hit it now with that tea towel

(instrumental break)

Its black body before me
Just when I run the bath
I don't care if I'm naked
I'm on the garden path
Oh yes I am

You made a promise to me
That you would kill it dead
You'd better hurry up now
Or I can't go to bed
Oh, no I can't

You know they scare me, they always will
When I see spiders, they make me feel ill
No explanation, no rationale
Just hit it now with that tea towel
It just keeps moving

It's crawling on the rug
It's everywhere I go
It scuttles past the window
Even past my big toe
Even past my big toe

And on the carpet
And up the curtains
Even past my big toe
Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it dead
Before it gets to my toe
Keep it from my big toe
Keep it from my big toe
