    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
