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]
