1. I remember when Mary Lou said,
"You wanna
walk me home from school?"
A
E
Well, I said, "Yes, I do."
E
She said, "I don't have
to go right home,
and I
would kinda like to be alone some,
A
E
if
you would," I said, "Me, too."

And so we took a stroll, wound
up down by the swimmin' hole,
A E
and
she said, "Do what you want to do".
B7
I got silly and I found a frog,
in the water by a hollow log,
A E
and I
shook it at her and I said, "This frog's for you!"
- E
She said, "I don't
like spiders and snakes,
A
E
and that ain't
what it takes to love me, you fool, you fool.
E A
I don't like spiders and
snakes, and that ain't what it takes to love me,
E
like I want to be loved by you."

2. Well, I think of that girl from time to time,
I call her up when I got a
dime,
A E
I say, "Hello, baby!"
She says, "Ain't you cool."
- E
I say, "Do you remember when
?
And would you like to get
together again ?”
A E
She says, "I'll see you
after school."
B7
I was shy and so for a while, most
of my love was touch and smile,
A E
‘til
she said, "Come on over here."
B7
I was nervous as you might
guess,
still
looking for somethin' to slip down her dress,
A E
and
she said, "Let's make it perfectly clear !"
- E
She said, "I don't
like spiders and snakes,
A
E
and that ain't
what it takes to love me, you fool, you fool.
E
A
I don't like spiders and
snakes, and that ain't what it takes to love me,
E
like I want to be loved by you."
