Little Yellow Spider Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 4
Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Ah, maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
Because I'm goddamn cold
Little white monkey, staring at the sand
Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand
Who knows?
Well, I came upon a dancing crab, and I stopped to watch it shake
I said, "Dance for me just one more time
Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake"
Hey there, little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure
And hey ya, little baby crow, you're looking kind of mean
I think I ought to split before you start letting off your steam
For sure
And hey there, little sexy pig, you made it with a man
And you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands
And oh, all the animals
All the animals
And hey there, little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
Ah, where you been? Have you broke a wing?
I haven't heard you in so long
And hey there, little albatross, swimming in the air
Ah, come on, you know I can't fly
And I, I think we really ought to play fair
And hey there, mister happy squid, you move so psychedelically
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sure
And oh, all the animals
All the animals
And hey there, mister morning sun, what kind of creature are you?
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew
And hey there, missus lovely moon, you're lonely and you're blue
It's kinda strange, the way you change
But then again, we all do too
Ah, maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
Because I'm goddamn cold
Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand
Who knows?
I said, "Dance for me just one more time
Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake"
Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure
I think I ought to split before you start letting off your steam
For sure
And you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands
All the animals
Ah, where you been? Have you broke a wing?
I haven't heard you in so long
Ah, come on, you know I can't fly
And I, I think we really ought to play fair
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sure
All the animals
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew
It's kinda strange, the way you change
But then again, we all do too

fantastic and unique song. does anybody know about what the sexy pig means?
people are people. turtles are turtles. the suns the sun. we all have a particular role to fill, and can't attain any of the insight that other creatures have.
and it's beautiful
I agree with Cd Phatty. We look at animals as being less intellegent than us, but for all we know, they're spirtually ahead of us. Perhaps they relealize that money, power, etc, have nothing to do with happiness.
I also think this song has a lot to do with reincarnation. "It's kinda strange, the way you change But then again, we all do too"
"And hey there, Mrs. lovely moon, you're lonely and you're blue It's kinda strange, the way you change But then again, we all do too"
this song took me a few listens to start really enjoying, but i can't get enough now.
devendra is so cool. i love how he warbles on particular parts and changes things up to his own rhythm. and "you move so psych-a-delli-calll-y" is great. he's so thoughtful.
this song is so cute! i really don't know what it means though? "Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow Ah, maybe that spider knows something that I don't know 'Cause I'm goddamn cold" i like the idea that animals know more than we do, or at least see things differently...
this song seems very whimsical to me. I love it though, its clever, and fun to listen to.
I think it's a great song. Except for the sexy pig bit. WTF?
This just has to be about some psychedelic. I mean "And hey there, Mr. happy squid, you move so psychadelically You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea For sure"
i dont think that this song was meant to mean anything. i think it was just written for fun.
