Topic: A halloween song?

A new song to celebrate all hallows e'en

Just A Little SpiderUndefined


RIFF




[Em]Come a little closer.


Said the spider to the fly.


[A4]Let me taste your sweet long legs.


[Em]Before you die.


[B7]I'm just a little spider, babe.


[Em] You cant run away to hide.




RIFF




[Em]I caught you in my spider web.


And you cant get free.


[A4]I caught you and I won the game.


[Em]Now you belong to me.


[B7]I'm just a little spider babe.


[Em]I think you're nice to eat.







CHORUS




[A4]Long ago when spring began.


[Em]I came out of my shell.


[A4]And all the flies were flying round.


[B7]My spiders web never held.




RIFF X 2 > CHORUS




[Em]Come a little closer.


You're all that I require.


[A4]You'll never fly away again.


[Em]My body feels afire.


[B7]I'm just a little spider, babe.


[Em]You're all that I desire.




RIFF

Phill those lyrics hit the mark our Kiwi kids down here in NZ would love them in a song.  I look  forward to hearing you playing  it .

Re: A halloween song?

Thanks Pete and Brian. It does have two meanings depending on how you read it...ha ha! My eight year old granddaughter was watching me type it out and reading it aloud and making suggestions and many questions, why do spiders eat flies? The web never held what? Ah, the ever enquiring mind of an eight year old?
I have begun recording it but it needs twerking and refining.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: A halloween song?

I would guess it is a black widow spider.

Very mysterious song - made by simple lyrics.

Very clever Phill !  but is it more clever than your granddaughter - i think not - she is asking all the right questions !!

Looking forward to the recording

Give my best to Ann

Re: A halloween song?

Thanks Jim, will do and it should read tweeking not twerking! Predictive text strikes again.
As an addendum; there are three ways the words can be read:-
1) a simple halloween song for kids.
2) a song about a coercive and violent  stalker.
3) a person planning a murder.
only option 1 was on my mind during writing.

I have option 4:
The entangled love affair with the spider (ok, black widdow). The one that you know is going to end up hurting you, yet you are drawn by her beauty and, to put it mildly, The long legs and alluring eyes and the prospects of forbidden pleasures.

Yep, really deppends on the state of mind. Great song.

I hadn't even considered option 4 but it deserves it's place. Nice one

A great little song and fun to play. I couldn't help thinking of John Entwistle and his Boris.
Good luck with the twerking, but remember. The A & E gets pretty crowded at this time of year.

Take my word for it...no one wants to see me twerking, even the wife looks the other way when I strip my clothes off. LOL

I hadn't thought of Boris the spider! I bet Graham could make a good song of it as he is a big Boris fan...not
