Ole Tarantula
By Robyn Hitchcock
C
Out in the trees old tarantula has got me humming
Out in the desert the cacti are home
Tarantulas cluster in their underground dome
F C
Olé tarantula
Furry black legs and a spicy goatee
If you see Gino won't you kiss him for me?
F C
Olé tarantula
Through the dark windows she squeezes her eggs
out they come tumbling on their spindly legs

G
I feel like a three-legged chinchilla
F
Standing on a table so wide I can't see over the side
C
Tarantula
Look at his fingers caressing your keys
If he don't please you well you just can't be pleased
F C
Olé tarantula
Pumping it out through a spiky black fist
If she don't kiss you well you'll never be kissed (smooch!)

I knew a woman in San Francisco
F C
Or maybe it was down in San Jose I don't recall, either way
Neither does she
G
Yeah forget about me
F C
Oh Tarantula
All life is sinful the Catholics say Use it up quick
And then you throw it away
