I remember when Mary Lou said "You wanna walk me home from school" And 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 As long as you would" I said, "Me, too" And so we took a stroll Wound up down by the swimmin' 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 Til she said, "Come on over here" I was nervous as you might guess Still looking for somethin' 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"
