Lyrics:

I remember when Mary Lou said, 'You want to walk me home from school?'
Well, 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 some if you would'
I said, 'Me, too'
And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimming hole
And she said, 'Do what you want to do'
I got silly and found a frog in the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her and I said, 'This frog's for you'
And 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 something 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'
