Spiders and Snakes

Spiders and Snakes - The Hit Co.

I remember when Mary Lou said

"You wanna walk me home from school"

Well I said, "Yes, I do"

She said, "I don't have to go right home

And I'm the kind that likes to be alone

As long as you would"

I said, "Me, too"

And so we took a stroll

Wound up down by the swimming hole

And she said, "Do what you wanna do"

I got silly and found a frog

In the water by a hollow log

And I shook it at her

And I said "This frog's for you"

She said, "I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

You fool, you fool

I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

Like I wanna be loved by you"

Well, I think of that girl from time to time

I call her up when I got a dime

I say, "Hello, baby"

She says, "Ain't you cool"

I say, "Do you remember when?

And would you like to get together again"

She says, "I'll see you after school"

I was shy and so for a while

Most of my love was touch and smile

Till she said, "Come on over here"

I was nervous as you might guess

Still looking for something to slip down her dress

And she said, "Let's make it perfectly clear"

She said, "I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

You fool, you fool

I don't like spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me

Like I wanna be loved by you"
