Written by Johannes Brahms
Intro (C#m A C#m A C#m A) C#m On candy stripe legs spiderman comes, A Softly through the shadow of the Evening sun C#m Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead A Looking for the victim shivering in bed. C#m Searching out fear in the gathering gloom, A And suddenly! A movement in the corner of the room C#m And there is nothing I can do when I realise with fright A C#m A That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight C#m Quietly he laughs, and shaking his head A Creeps closer now, closer to the foot of the bed, C#m And softer than shadow and quicker than flies, A His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes... C#m "Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy, A Don't struggle like that, or I will only love you more, C#m For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light; A The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight F#m And I feel like I'm being eaten A By a thousand million shivering furry holes, F#m And I know that in the morning A I will wake up in the shivering cold C#m And the spiderman is always hungry
