On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
Suddenly! A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
Quietly he laughs shaking his head creeps
Closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
Softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
Arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious
Boy don't struggle like that or I will only love
You more for it's much too late to get away or
Turn on the light the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
And i feel like I 'm being eaten by a thousand
Million shivering furry holes and I know that in
The morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry...
