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"
