Joe and Sharon Keefe-- Giant spiders

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFw7-khE-go Down in Venezuela, there's a spider that crawls, Crawls through the jungle where the forest rain falls, And it's the biggest spider in all the world. It's black, it's hairy, it's as big as your foot, With 10 inch fangs, It could bite you if it could, And believe it or not, it's the favorite food of the natives... They catch it and they cook it and they eat it with delight, They snack on the legs and the thorax at night, And after savoring every bite... They use a fang for a toothpick. National Geographic sent some writers to the scene, To get a taste of this strange cuisine, They said it was deliciously in between... Shrimp and lobster. Now I bet you anything some business man Will come up with a brilliant plan To open up across the land Giant Black Spider restaurants. ...Where waiters will be wearing spider hats, Spiders will be slaughtered and cooked in deep fat And served with deep fried jungle flies that... Taste like chicken. And they'll go and tear the rainforest down, To catch every spider that can be found, And turn them into ground brown spider burgers. And they'll put out ads where nothing's said, Just Michael Jordan popping his head through a great big spider web... Eating a tarantula sandwich. And they'll fry them and you'll buy them and you'll eat them with a grin, Spider juice will dribble down your chin, And when you're finished you'll go back again... For more greasy fried giant spiders. Down in Venezuela where the jungle winds blow, A sleepy giant spider in his spider bungalow, doesn't care `cuz he doesn't know... He'll soon be someone's dinner.
