about

This song doesn't have much to do with cleaning or food, but we included it because I started writing it while cleaning a locker room, and it's just a really fun song that a lot of people enjoy.

lyrics

I saw a spider just this afternoon
It was walking in the locker room
and I squished it with my fingers
in a paper towel
and I threw it in a trash can
and said, “Stay here for now.”

Spiders are very obedient when they’re dead
If you ask them to do nothing or not to move their head
But if you tried to get them to spin another web
they probably won’t (Why not?)
Because they’re dead.

I saw a spider Just this afternoon
It was walking in the locker room
And I massaged it with my fingers.
I can show you how.
And I placed it gently in a spider bed
and said, “Stay here for now.”

Spiders are very obedient when asleep
If you ask them to do nothing or not to make a peep
But if you tried to get them to spin a web or leap
they probably won’t (Why not?)
Cuz they’re asleep.
