Tarantula, tarantula,

Why do you have 

Eight legs when you

Only need two?

Tarantula, tarantula,

Why are you so furry

Unlike most other spiders?

Tarantula, tarantula,

Why do you eat smaller

Bugs when you are a bug yourself?

Tarantula, tarantula, 

Why do you use venom when

You can kill your prey without it?

Tarantula, tarantula,

Why do you have eight eyes?

Why do you look like you are

An alien?

Tarantula, tarantula,

Why are you so small when you 

Can be big and be able to be a 

human-swallower?

Tarantula, tarantula,

How can you stand upside down like

You have glue on your feet,

Waiting to jump on your next victim?

Tarantula, Tarantula,

Why do you live in dense jungles

Where it is dark and damp like

Poison dart frogs?

Tarantula, tarantula,

Why are you so scary to humans,

 a monster of the real world?

Tarantula, tarantula 

Why do you grab your

Food with your hands 

And wrap it up in food with your

Webs?
