Jewel - Sammy the Spider lyrics

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 "to stay here instead"
But he went ahead and slid
Down his spider web
Like a gunslinger 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
He 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
He pulled his knee socks up higher
All eight of them he was on an expedition
An impossible mission he was real fighter
That Sammy the spider

Tired and thirsty, he began to lose heart
Just a sad spider alone in the dark
He pulled a tattered picture from
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
He held his head up high
He focused all four eyes
And kept 'em on the prize
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
He pulled his knee socks up higher
All eight of them he completed his mission
He made it to the kitchen
He was a 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
