[Spoken] I remember when Mary Lou said,
"You wanna walk me home from school!"
Well, I said, "Yes, I do!"

She said, "I don't have to go right home,
And I would kinda like to be alone some, if you would."
I said, "Me too."

[Sung] And so, we took a stroll,
Wound up down by the swimming hole
And she said, "Do what you wanna do."

I got silly and found a frog in the water,
By the hollow log, and I

[Spoken] shook it at her
And I said, "This frog's for you."
She said,

[Sung] "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 wanna be loved by you."

[Spoken] Well, I think of that girl from time to time,
I call her up when I got a dime,

I say, "Hello baby."
She said, "Ain't you cool."

I said, "Do you remember when,
And would you like to get together again."
She said, "I'll see you after school."

[Sung] I was shy, and so for awhile,
Most of my love was touch and smiles,
And she said, "Come on over here."

I was nervous as you might guess,
Still lookin' for something to slip down her dress,
And

[Spoken] she said, "Let's make it perfectly clear."
She said,

[Sung] "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 wanna be loved by you."
