Here are the lyrics as I hear them
Early in the morning when it's dark and dreary outdoors Early in the morning when it's dark and dreary outdoors Spider man makes a web and hides while you sleep and snore
Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watch me day and night Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watching day and night Catch every fly as fast as she can light
That black man of mine sure has his spider ways That black man of mine sure has his spider ways Been crawling after me all of my natural days
I'm like a poor fly, spider man, please let me go I'm like a poor fly, spider man, please let me go You've got me locked up in your house and I can't break down your door
Somebody please kill me and throw me in the sea Somebody please kill me and throw me in the sea This spider man of mine is going to be the death of poor me
