Ole Tarantula  
By Robyn Hitchcock
COut in the trees old tarantula has got me humming
Out in the desert the cacti are home
Tarantulas cluster in their underground dome
FOlé tarantulaC  
Furry black legs and a spicy goatee
If you see Gino won't you kiss him for me?
FOlé tarantulaC  
Through the dark windows she squeezes her eggs
out they come tumbling on their spindly legs
FOlé tarantulaC  
GI feel like a three-legged chinchilla
Standing on a table so wide I can't see over the sideF  
TarantulaC  
Look at his fingers caressing your keys
If he don't please you well you just can't be pleased
FOlé tarantulaC  
Pumping it out through a spiky black fist
If she don't kiss you well you'll never be kissed (smooch!)
FOle tarantulaC  
GI knew a woman in San Francisco
Or maybe it was down in San Jose I don't recall, either wayF  C  
Neither does she
Yeah forGget about me
FOh TarantulaC  
All life is sinful the Catholics say Use it up quick
And then you throw it away
FOlé tarantulaC
