	  		{intro} 
|D5 Db5 C5 B5 Bb5   F5 |G5     |D5 Db5 C5 B5 Bb5   F5 |G5     | 
 
{verse} 
|D     D    Bb  Bb   F  F  G G |C        | 
 Look, he's crawling up my wall 
|C     C   G   G  Bb Bb F  F |G        | 
 Black and hairy, ve-ry small 
|C   C    G  G Bb   Bb F  F |C        | 
 Now he's up a-bove my head 
|C   C   G  G Bb Bb  F  F  |G        | 
 Hanging by a little thread 
 
{Chorus} 
|D Db C B   Bb F  |G     |D Db C B   Bb F  |G     | 
 Boris  the spider        Boris  the spider 
 
Now he's dropped on to the floor 
Heading for the bedroom door 
Maybe he's as scared as me 
Where's he gone now, I can't see 
 
{repeat Chorus} 
Boris the spider 
Boris the spider 
 
|F# G F# G F# G F# G|F# G F# G F# G F# G| 

 
||:F#   G  F#   G  F#   G  F#   G:||4 

 
There he is wrapped in a ball 
Doesn't seem to move at all 
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure 
Pick this book up off the floor 
 
Boris the spider 
Boris the spider 
 
Creepy, crawly 
Creepy, crawly 
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly 
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly 
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly 
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly 
 
He's come to a sticky end (creepy, crawly) 
Don't think he will ever mend (creepy, crawly) 
Never more will he crawl 'round (creepy, crawly) 
He's embedded in the ground (creepy, crawly) 
 
Boris the spider 
Boris the spider
