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

F C Dm G C

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?
