《The Spider》歌词

[00:00:00] The Spider - Flanders & Swann

[00:00:04] I have fought a Grizzly Bear

[00:00:07] Tracked a Cobra to its lair

[00:00:09] Killed a Crocodile who dared to cross my path

[00:00:13] But the thing I really dread

[00:00:15] When I've just got out of bed

[00:00:18] Is to find that there's a Spider in the bath

[00:00:24] I've no fear of Wasps or Bees

[00:00:26] Mosquitoes only tease

[00:00:29] I rather like a Cricket on the hearth

[00:00:32] But my blood runs cold to meet

[00:00:35] In pyjamas and bare feet

[00:00:38] With a great big hairy spider in the bath

[00:00:42] I have faced a charging Bull in Barcelona

[00:00:46] I have dragged a mountain Lioness from her cubs

[00:00:49] I've restored a mad Gorilla to it's owner

[00:00:53] But I don't dare face that tub

[00:00:58] What a frightful looking beast -

[00:01:00] Half an inch across at least -

[00:01:02] It would frighten even Superman or Garth

[00:01:06] There's contempt it can't disguise

[00:01:09] In the little beady eyes

[00:01:11] Of the Spider sitting glowering in the bath

[00:01:22] It ignores my every lunge

[00:01:24] With the backbrush and the sponge;

[00:01:26] I have bombed it with 'A present from Penarth'

[00:01:30] It just rolls into a ball

[00:01:32] Doesn't seem to mind at all

[00:01:35] And simply goes on squatting in the bath

[00:01:39] For hours we have been locked in endless struggle

[00:01:42] I have lured it to the deep end by the drain

[00:01:46] At last I think I've washed it down the plughole

[00:01:50] Here it comes a-crawling up the chain

[00:01:54] Now it's time for me to shave

[00:01:56] Though my nerves will not behave

[00:01:58] And there's bound to be a fearful aftermath

[00:02:02] So before I cut my throat

[00:02:04] I shall leave this final note;

[00:02:07] Driven to it - by the Spider in the bath
