Song: Little Yellow Spider
Tabbed by: Ian Cherry
One, two, three, four
D
Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Em
Well maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
D
'Cause I'm goddamn cold
D
Little white monkey, staring at the sand
Em
Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't
D
understand, Who knows?
D
Well, I came upon a dancing crab, and I stopped to watch it shake
Em
I said, "Dance for me just one more time
D
Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake"
D
And hey there, little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Em
Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know
D
But what they are I just can't tell for sure
D
And hey ya, little baby crow, you're looking kind of mean
Em
I think I oughta spit before you start letting off your steam
D
For sure
D
And hey there, little sexy pig, you mated it with a man
Em
And now you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands
D Em
And oh, all of the animals
D
All of the animals
D
And hey there, little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
Em
Ah, where you been? Have you broke a wing?
I haven't heard you in so long
D
And hey there, little albatross, swimming in the air
Em
Ah c'mon, you know I can't fly
And I, I think we really oughta play fair
D
And hey there, Mr. happy squid, you move so psychadelically
Em
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
D
For sure
D Em
And oh, all of the animals
D
All of the animals
D
And hey there, Mr. morning sun, what kind of creature are you?
Em
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew
D
And hey there, Mrs. lovely moon, you're lonely and you're blue
Em
It's kind of strange, the way you change
D
But then again, we all do too
