Verse 1 
 
 
 E 
I remember when Mary Lou,  
 
 
said you wanna' walk me home from school 
 
A                   E 
Well I said, Yes I do 
 
E 
She said I don't have to go right home, 
 
E                                            A 
And I would kinda like to be alone some if you would, 
 
               E       B 
And I said me too, and so we took a stroll, 
 
 
Wound up down by the swimin' hole, 
 
     A                           E 
And she said, do what you wanna do. 
 
B 
I got silly and I found a frog, in the water by a hollow log, 
 
        A                                         E 
And I shook it at her, and I said this frogs for you. 
 
 
 
Chorus 
 
E 
She said, I don't like spiders and snakes 
 
                                  A 
And that ain't what it takes to love me 
 
               E 
You fool you fool 
 
 E 
I don't like spiders and snakes 
 
                                  A 
And that ain't what it takes to love me 
 
                          E 
Like I wanna be loved by you.

Verse 2 
 
 E 
Well I think of that girl from time to time, 
 
 
I call her up when I got a dime, 
 
        A                              E 
I say hello baby, she says ain't you cool 
 
E 
She said do you remeber when and would you like to get together again, 
 
A                              E 
She said I'll see you after school. 
 
B 
I was shy and so for a while, most of my love was touch and smiles 
 
A                            E           B 
When she said come on over here, I was nervous as you might guess, 
 
B 
Still lookin' for something to slip down her dress. 
 
  A                                    E 
And she said let's make it, perfectly clear. 
 
 
 
 Repeat Chorus
