¥        Am           E                 Am
¥        Here I am - is anyone about?
¥                      Dm                               Am                             E         Am E

¥                Am                           E

I woke up feeling hungry in the middle of the night.
F                    C                                     Dm                  E
I saw a moth go by and thought "there goes a tasty bite".
F                                        C                          Dm               G              C
I chased it up the mirror and along the window-sill,
   F                                        C                        Dm                        E
Around behind the toothpaste - and then I tripped and fell, and...

C                                                    F                             C                                E
The sides are steep & slippery Ôcos the bath has just been cleaned,
F                            C                                     Dm               E
And everything is cold and wet and Avocado Green.
F                                                C                  Dm    G    C
There's a long lumpy Loofah, some pumice in a dish,
        F                        C                        Dm                     E
And all I have to talk to is this purple plastic fish, and...

C                                                     F                                     C                        E
There's no need to be scared, 'cause I won't do you any harm.
        F                                    C                             Dm                          E
Just take me to the garden where it's nice and safe and warm,
         F                                C                  Dm               G              C
Then put me down real gently and I'll run back home to Mother,
F                        C                        Dm                        E
One leg after the other after the other after the other after the
F                G                                        Am                        Dm
other..after the other after the other after the other!! And...
        Am            Dm                   Am    E            Am
Can't anybody help a little spider in the bath?
