Jim Stafford - Spiders & Snakes Lyrics

I remember when Mary Lou
Said, "You want to walk me home from school"
Well, I said, "Yes, I do"
She said, "I don't have to go right home
And I'm the kind that likes to be alone some if you would"
I said, "Me, too"

And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
And she said, "Do what you want to do"
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her and I said "This frog's for you"
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

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
Till 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
