1. On candystripe legs
spiderman comes
F
softly
through the shadow of the evening sun,
Am
stealing past the windows of the blissfully
dead,
F
looking
for the victim, shivering in bed.
Am
Searching out fear in the
gathering gloom,
F
and
suddenly : A movement in the corner of the room !
Am
And there is nothing I can do
when I realize with fright
F
that
the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight.

2. Quietly he laughs and
shaking his head,
F
creeps
closer now, closer to the foot of the bed,
Am
and softer than shadow and quicker than
flies,
F
his
arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes.
Am
“Be still, be clam, be quiet
now, my precious boy,
F
don’t struggle like that or I will only
love you more.
Am
For it’s much too late to get away or turn
on the light,
F
the spiderman is having you for dinner
tonight.”
Am F
+ And I feel like I’m
being eaten
F
by a
thousand million shivering furry holes,
Am
and I
know that in the morning
F
I will wake up in the shivering
cold.
Am
And the spiderman is always hungry.
