[Verse 1]
C#m7
On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes
Aadd9
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
C#m7
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Aadd9
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
C#m7 Aadd9
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
C#m7
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
Aadd9
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

[Verse 2]
C#m7 Aadd9 C#m7 Aadd9 C#m7
Quietly he laughs, shaking his head
Aadd9
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
C#m7
And softer than shadow
And quicker than flies
Aadd9
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
C#m7
“Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Aadd9 C#m7
Don’t struggle like that or I will only love you more
Aadd9
For it’s much too late to get away or turn on the light
C#m7
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight!

[Bridge]
F#7sus4
And I feel like I’m being eaten
Asus2
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
F#7sus4
And I know that in the morning
Asus2
I will wake up in the shivering cold
C#m7
And the spiderman is always hungry…

[Outro]

Aadd9 C#m7 Aadd9
C#m7
Come into my parlour
Said the spider to the fly
Aadd9 C#m7 Aadd9 C#m7
