Boris the Spider Lyrics

Performed by The Who

Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He's come to a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's embedded in the ground

Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Boris the spider endures in Mexico too | Reviewer: Marlyna | 5/27/11

I listened to this song many years ago..and never forgot the chorus. Today, after many many moons I listened to it for the first time and again. I'll use it for my English class and bring it to my students.

The Eho enlightens the world everyday.

Thanks to The Who, for their life lives in us all!!!

Classic Who | Reviewer: Neil Ringshaw | 9/15/08

I used to sing this song to my children and they would crack up laughing, especially when I sang "Boris the Spider" "Creepy Crawley, Creepy Crawley" etc. This continued for months and months and one day I told them it was actually song created by The Who and until I bought the CD they didn't believe me. I played it for them and again they cracked up....What a great song. I recently (tonight) played it for my partner and she cracked up as well.. what a great beat. A classic. Love the lyrics...who would have thought!

Cute! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/08

My 2 year old LOVES this song. He walks around singing it with his big black fuzzy (cat toy) spider. I had to come here to learn the lyrics so I can sing it as a lullaby! Yeah, my kid is way cool.

Boris The Spider - The Who | Reviewer: Glenn M. | 8/4/06

I haven't heard this song in a while but I thought the first sentence was "Something crawling up my wall."

I could be wrong but I thought it was "Something..." not "Look he's....."
