Lyrics sample

A spider’s life is always tough.

The pain and strife is quite enough.

We try to live along with you

But end up squashed beneath your shoe.

What to do? What to do

When we’re hoovered

Or flushed down the loo?

The time is right to end this now.

We’ll meet tonight to work out how.

We cannot fail. Let’s make a pact.

We must prevail. It’s time to act.

What to do? What to do

When we’re hoovered

Or flushed down the loo?

We’ll make a web to cover the earth.

Our worldwide web has had its birth!
