Bob and Louise Decormier The Spider and The Cricket Lyrics Bob And Louise Decormier lyrics

Verse 1:
A spider met a cricket in a field of flax and clover
Said the spider to the cricket, “Will you be my true lover?”

Chorus:
Singing, “Tralalala lalala,” singing, “Tralalala lalala.”
Singing, “Tralalala lalala, tralala lalalalala.”

Verse 2:
“Oh,” said the cricket, “my troubles now are over!
You'll do my spinning, and I will live in clover!”

Chorus

Verse 3:
That night the cricket thought a present he would bring her:
Knocked at her window with a ring to fit her finger!
Chorus

Verse 4:
She opened her window, and when the curtains parted,
A flower pot hit him, and he fell down brokenhearted!

Chorus

Verse 5:

“Oh,” cried his true love, “For forty years I've waited,
I know our wedding will still be celebrated!”

Chorus

Verse 6:
“Oh,” cried his true love, “True love cannot be ended.
With a thread that I've woven, your heart may still be mended!”

Chorus

Verse 7:
She sewed and she stitched him with a needle that she carried
Took all his life to cure him, but a minute to get married!

Chorus

Verse 8:
The moral of this story is clear from the beginning:
If you want to keep your true love, be careful in your spinning!

Chorus (x2)
