Spiders And Snakes

Jim Stafford

I remember when Mary Lou said

'You wanna walk me home from school'

And 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 swimmin' hole

And she said, 'Do what you want to do'

I got silly and I 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...



Chorus:

'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 want to 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

Til she said, 'Come on over here'

I was nervous as you might guess

Still looking for somethin' to slip down her dress

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

She said...
