The Spider - Flanders & Swann[00:00:00]
I have fought a Grizzly Bear [00:00:04]
Tracked a Cobra to its lair [00:00:07]
Killed a Crocodile who dared to cross my path [00:00:09]
But the thing I really dread[00:00:13]
When I've just got out of bed[00:00:15]
Is to find that there's a Spider in the bath [00:00:18]
I've no fear of Wasps or Bees [00:00:24]
Mosquitoes only tease [00:00:26]
I rather like a Cricket on the hearth [00:00:29]
But my blood runs cold to meet[00:00:32]
In pyjamas and bare feet [00:00:35]
With a great big hairy spider in the bath [00:00:38]
I have faced a charging Bull in Barcelona [00:00:42]
I have dragged a mountain Lioness from her cubs [00:00:46]
I've restored a mad Gorilla to it's owner [00:00:49]
But I don't dare face that tub [00:00:53]
What a frightful looking beast -[00:00:58]
Half an inch across at least -[00:01:00]
It would frighten even Superman or Garth [00:01:02]
There's contempt it can't disguise [00:01:06]
In the little beady eyes [00:01:09]
Of the Spider sitting glowering in the bath [00:01:11]
It ignores my every lunge[00:01:22]
With the backbrush and the sponge;[00:01:24]
I have bombed it with 'A present from Penarth' [00:01:26]
It just rolls into a ball [00:01:30]
Doesn't seem to mind at all [00:01:32]
And simply goes on squatting in the bath [00:01:35]
For hours we have been locked in endless struggle [00:01:39]
I have lured it to the deep end by the drain [00:01:42]
At last I think I've washed it down the plughole [00:01:46]
Here it comes a-crawling up the chain [00:01:50]
Now it's time for me to shave [00:01:54]
Though my nerves will not behave [00:01:56]
And there's bound to be a fearful aftermath [00:01:58]
So before I cut my throat [00:02:02]
I shall leave this final note;[00:02:04]
Driven to it - by the Spider in the bath[00:02:07]
