The Who - Boris The Spider lyrics

Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He's come to a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's embedded in the ground

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

I love this song but can't stand the pictures. I have arachnophobia. So I fear spiders.

Know-it-all-warning!: Most spiders, if not all, in this video are females.

@fiestamaddie Good for you moving outside whatever's current! Please move beyond to the roots of rock: blues (blind willie, john coltrane), dirty jazz (cab calloway, louis jordan), and proto jazz (paul whiteman). obviously u have musical curiosity and taste - I don't know if you'll like the ones I've named but please give them a try in the interest of expanding the range of music that gives you pleasure. And thanks for writing! :-)
