Spider Song
I have one, two three, four, five, six,
Seven, eight hairy legs that
Move from thread to thread
Inside my strong and silky web.
I’m called an S – P – I – D – E – R
And I am famous for my weaving ability and
Catching insects naturally. And so …
Chorus:
I spin my thread and weave my web
This is my way of capturing my prey.
And while you are sleeping, I am weaving.
When I’m done, I wait until I feel an insect come. Yeah!
I’m a carnivorous arachnid who is perfectly adapted
To survive in any place where i can catch bugs
While I hang in space…And I have
Claws that grip the silk that I efficiently produce
Connecting fibers one strand at a time to make this web of mine.
And so…
Chorus
Now I want to tell you that a spider knows just what to do
To make sure every strand of silk is used for good.
We use silk for climbing and we lay our eggs inside it
And we wrap it round the bugs we catch in your neighborhood.
And we make designs that are so beautiful.
Look outside and you may see them shimmer in the morning dew.
And so…
Final Chorus:
I spin my thread and weave my web
This is my way of capturing my prey.
And while you are sleeping, I am weaving
When I’m done, I wait until I feel an insect come.
I wait until I feel an insect come. Yeah!
