Spiders & Snakes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 swimming hole And she said, "Do what you want to do" I got silly and found a frog in the water by a hollow log And I shook it at her and I said, "This frog's for you" And she said [Chorus] "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" [Verse 2] 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 something to slip down her dress And she said, "Let's make it perfectly clear" She said [Chorus] "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"
