haha naw what happened was the band were asked to write 2 songs each as part of a contract (or something along those lines). entwistle was talkin about unusual names for animals one day in the pub and one of them was a spider called boris. later he was asked what his two songs were about (everyone else had done theirs, even keith moon) and he said one was called boris the spider. then he wrote it in about ten minutes later.
@AaronXIII -- Ding Ding! this one is closest to correct. John wrote it very quickly. He wasn't stoned or drunk most of the other responses on this page. He may have been afraid of spiders, don't remember. But I do remember he wrote it quickly, literally the words were written in a few minutes because he needed to come up with a song quick!
