| I remember when Mary Lou
|
| Said, «you want to walk me home from school?»
|
| Well, I said, «yes, I do»
|
| She said, «I don’t have to go right home
|
| And I’m the kind that likes to be alone some if you would»
|
| I said, «me, too»
|
| And so we took a stroll
|
| Wound up down by the swimming hole
|
| And she said, «do what you want to do»
|
| I got silly and I found a frog
|
| In the water by a hollow log
|
| And I shook it at her and I said, «this frog’s for you»
|
| She said
|
| I don’t like spiders and snakes
|
| And that ain’t what it takes to love me
|
| You fool, you fool
|
| I don’t like spiders and snakes
|
| And that ain’t what it takes to love me
|
| Like I want to be loved by you
|
| Well, I think of that girl from time to time
|
| I call her up when I got a dime
|
| I say, «hello, baby»
|
| She says, «ain't you cool»
|
| I say, «do you remember when?
|
| And would you like to get together again?»
|
| She says, «I'll see you after school»
|
| I was shy and so for a while
|
| Most of my love was touch and smile
|
| Till she said, «come on over here»
|
| I was nervous, as you might guess
|
| Still looking for something to slip down her dress
|
| And she said, «let's make it perfectly clear»
|
| She said
|
| I don’t like spiders and snakes
|
| And that ain’t what it takes to love me
|
| You fool, you fool
|
| I don’t like spiders and snakes
|
| And that ain’t what it takes to love me
|
| Like I want to be loved by you |
