SPIDERS RELATED SONGS/CHANTS

Spiders(Janet Bruno)

Spiderlings hatch from eggs.

Each one has eight tiny legs.

A spider has more eyes than you.

Most have eight, you have two.

A spider has two body parts.

Across its web it quickly darts.

From a spider’s spinnerets

Sticky spider silky jets.

Spiders feel the frantic tugs,

Of their favorite food: it’s bugs!

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet

Sat on a tuffet,

Eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider

Who sat down beside her

And frightened Miss Muffet

away.

Spider on the Floor (Raffi)

There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor.There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor.There’s a spider on the floor,Who could ask for anything more?There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor.

Now the spider’s on my leg; on my leg.Oh the spider’s on my leg, on my leg.Oh, he’s really big!This old spider on my leg.There’s a spider on my leg, on my leg.

Now the spider’s on my stomach, on my stomach.Oh, the spider’s on my stomach, on my stomach.Oh, he’s just a dumb old lummock,this old spider on my stomach .There’s a spider on my stomach, on my stomach.

Now the spider’s on my neck, on my neck.Oh the spider’s on my neck, on my neck.Oh, I’m gonna be a wreck,I’ve got a spider on my neck.There’s a spider on my neck, on my neck.

Now the spider’s on my face, on my face.Oh, the spider’s on my face, on my face.Oh, what a big disgrace,I’ve got a spider on my face.There’s a spider on my face, on my face.

Now the spider’s on my head, on my head.Oh, the spider’s on my head, on my head.Oh, I wish that I were dead.I’ve got a spider on my head.There’s a spider on my head, on my head.

But he jumps off. NOW…

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.
