Intro (C#m A  C#m A  C#m A)

    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
