Aaaarrgghh! Spider!

There's a Spider on the Floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
Who could ask for any more than a spider on the floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor,

Additional verses:
How could it be so? There's a spider on my toe!
Oh, how could it be? There's a spider on my knee!
Oh it really isn't funny! There's a spider on my tummy!
Oh, it doesn't mean any harm, this spider on my arm!
Oh, what a big disgrace! There's a spider on my face!
Oh, I wish I was in bed! There's a spider on my head!
Who could ask for any more, than a spider on the floor!
