I was getting dressed late one night

along came a spider and I got a fright

oh I could not squash it flat

No matter how I tried,

And when it looked me in the eye

I ran away to hide...



I put on me Doctor Martin shoes

A battle with the spider that I wasn't gonna loose

A kick from the left a kick from the right

I was on the floor but I was alright

It was gonna be a long long night



[Chorus:]

Spiders in the dressing room

Spiders everywhere

Spider in the dressing room beware

[repeat twice]



Things were getting hot and I had to take a chance

The spider got impatient

Started crawling up me pants

I shook it off me legthump it hit the ground

Everything was silent so I didn't make a sound

I crossed the room as happy as can be

I had killed the spider now it couldn't bother me

But with me arm on the light

He was there ready for a fight

It was gonna be a long long night.



[Chorus]



It was getting late and the spider wasn't dead

An audience had gathered round

AndI was going red

I put a jam jar on the floor

the spider crawled inside it

I screwed the lid back on the top

And threw the jar outside

At a party late that night

Everything was bright and gay

We played all our pop records and danced the night away,

Early in the morning came a knocking at the door

I opened it slowly guess what I saw

It was gonna be a long long night...



[Chorus]
