Spider's Blues (Might Need It Sometimes)

Spider was a funny old fellow,
Had long skinny arms and legs
He used to spin around the dance floor,
That's how he got his name

Well long last Sunday down at the May soiree
Hurricane Lucy hit Spider and the bodies flew every which way
Spider told Lucy 'Girl I'd like to give ya a piece of my mind'
She said, 'Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on
Ya better hold on to it honey
You might need it sometime'

Well the Spider and Lucy they started datin' in June
They danced every night together from then until the August moon
Shined a light so bright they began to swoon

Then the Spider asked Lucy 'girl won't you be my bride?
I got a hundred dollar bill and a slightly used Cadillac ride
And girl if ya say I do I'll give ya everything I got that's mine'
She said, 'Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on
Ya better hold on to it honey
You might need it sometime'

Now the Spider and Lucy were gettin' hitched in the Spring
He took his hundred dollar bill and he bought the girl a cracker jack ring
Standing there at the alter it was as quiet as a tomb
Til he promised her 44 kids and a house with 22 rooms
Lucy screamed 'Spider, are you crazy? What's wrong with you?
Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on
Ya better hold on to it honey
You might need it sometime
Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on
Ya better hold on to it honey
You might need it sometime'
