She saw the little spider and boy did Mommy scream!

The Spider
Original Author: unknown
Sung to: “Twinkle Little Star”
There’s a spider on the wall
If he’s careful he won’t fall
He moves slowly down the wall
I can watch him crawl and crawl
I wonder if he minds my stare
Or does he know and just not care
Little Spider

Sung to: ” Itsy Bitsy Spider”
See the little spider
Climbing up the wall,
See the little spider
Stumble and fall.
See the little spider
Tumble down the street,
See the little Spider
Stop down at my feet.
I’m a Little Spider
Original Author: unknown
Sung to: “Little Teapot”
I’m a little spider, watch me spin.
If you’ll be my dinner,
I’ll let you come in.
Then I’ll build my web
to hold you tight,
And gobble you up in one big bite!
