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 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
Till 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
