Spiders And Snakes

Opening chords  E G A  A G E

E
I remember when Mary Lou said
"You wanna walk me home from school"
     A               E
Well I said, "Yes, I do"
E
She said, "I don't have to go right home
And I would kinda like to be alone some
   A
If you would"
             E
I said, "Me, too"
B
And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
    A                              E
And she said, "Do what you want to do"
B
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
      A
And I shook it at her
                            E
And I said "This frog's for you"
           E
She said, "I don't like spiders and snakes
                                A
And that ain't what it takes to love me
              E
You fool, you fool
E
I don't like spiders and snakes
                                A
And that ain't what it takes to love me
                           E G A A G E
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, "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"
