Sammy the spider was on a mission To move from the bathroom to the kitchen He gathered his things and put 'em in a bag Said goodbye to his mom and dad His 47 siblings begged 'stay here instead' But he went ahead and slid down his spider web Like a gun slinger in the old wild west He clinched his teeth and squinted his eyes And dared the world to put him to the test Sammy the spider Sure was a tiger Pulled his knee socks up higher All eight of them He was on a mission From the bathroom to the kitchen He was a real fighter Sammy the spider The hallway opened up like the great unknown that day A vast expanse in which many a spider lost his way His nerves were jumpy as he cleared the hall He turned the corner, and that's when he saw A shadow cast, a menacing shape It looked like a monster, complete with a cape He snuck and he creeped and karate chopped with his hands Just to discover it was nothing other Than a dust ball back lit by a lamp Sammy the spider Sure was a tiger Pulled his knee socks up higher All eight of them He was on an expedition An impossible mission He was real fighter Sammy the spider Tired and thirsty, he began to lose heart Just a sad spider alone in the dark He pulled a tattered picture out of his bag He could almost hear those glistening counters and lovely painted cabinets whisper Come on, Sammy, keep moving ahead... So he pulled up his britches and held his head up high He focused all four eyes, and kept them on the prize He didn't flinch at shadows, he just passed em by Weary and exhausted, he kept on walkin' until he finally arrived Sammy the spider Sure was a tiger Pulled his knee socks up higher All eight of them He completed his mission He made it to the kitchen He was real fighter That Sammy the spider Sammy's got an apartment in the sky rise of the kitchen With children of his own now, his parents come and visit
