Spider's Blues (Might Need It Sometime) Lyrics

-- Bill Payne, Fred Tackett, Paul Barrere 

Spider was a funny old fellow, 
Had long skinny arms and legs 
He used to spin around the dance floor, 
That's how he got his name 
  
Well long last Sunday down at the May soiree 
Hurricane Lucy hit Spider and the bodies flew every which way 
Spider told Lucy "Girl I'd like to give ya a piece of my mind" 
She said, "Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on 
Ya better hold on to it honey 
You might need it sometime" 
  
Well the Spider and Lucy they started datin' in June 
They danced every night together from then until the August moon 
Shined a light so bright they began to swoon 
  
Then the Spider asked Lucy "girl won't you be my bride? 
I got a hundred dollar bill and a slightly used Cadillac ride 
And girl if ya say I do I'll give ya everything I got that's mine" 
She said, "Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on 
Ya better hold on to it honey 
You might need it sometime" 
  
Now the Spider and Lucy were gettin' hitched in the Spring 
He took his hundred dollar bil and he bought the girl a cracker jack ring 
Standing there at the alter it was as quiet as a tomb 
Til he promised her 44 kids and a house with 22 rooms 
Lucy screamed "Spider, are you crazy? What's wrong with you? 
Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on 
Ya better hold on to it honey 
You might need it sometime 
Ya better hold on, Ya better hold on 
Ya better hold on to it honey 
You might need it sometime"
