GREAT BIG SPIDER


O where did father go, mother?
O where has father gone?
He just went away
To bring us food today
O why did he never return?

O where did father go, mother?
O where can father be?
He just popped outside
So why should he hide?
Instead of coming back home with our tea

O where did father go, mother?
We’re hungry and not very hot
There was a crumb or more
Of quiche on the floor
Could he have just gobbled the lot?

O where did father go, mother?
He said that he wouldn’t be long
He said he’d be back
Once he’d hunted a snack
Do you think maybe something went wrong?

O where did father go, mother?
It has been such a long time
Since he crawled over the floor
And under the door
Of this battered old house full of grime

O where did father go, mother?
Those people think we don’t belong
They scream and they shout
That they want us out
O why has he been gone so long?

O where did father go, mother?
Did that man trap him in a big pot?
Take him for a long ride
And throw him outside
He’ll find his way back, will he not?

O where did father go, mother?
O where did father go?
He’s been gone so long
That I think something’s wrong
Do you think that we’ll ever know?

O where did father go, mother?
Please tell me that he isn’t dead
It’s worrying me
That he’s not back with our tea
Are you sure you didn’t bite off his head?
