Spider Song (filk)


Taliesin Wordweaver            


(Set to the tune of Hilla Stormbringer's "Taco Song")

Well I admit I hate Spiders,
Please stay the hell out of my bed,
Abstractly I know they eat the bad bugs
But I can't get them out of my head-
I can't get them out of my head

It will not do to hate spiders,
Their webs are finer than silk,
With tensile strength that is greater than steel,
And their venom you must learn to milk
Their venom you must learn to milk

Maybe instead of a spider
A puppy is what you should hate
They are barky and bitey and smell up the house,
And their eyes do not number eight
Their eyes do not number eight

No you may not have a kitten
A tarantula's calling your name
They are fuzzy and jumpy, and climb up your arms,
You will find them exactly the same
Will find them exactly the same

I say there's plenty of spiders,
they're falling from every tree,
Insect populations are checked quite enough
So a spider-hunter I'll be,
A spider hunter I'll be

Loudly I scream I hate spiders
I hate their dancing legs
I hate the way they creep up in the night,
And lay their gruesome pale eggs
Lay their gruesome pale eggs
