I met an old, fat spider,
Spinning in his tree.
I said, "Hey old, fat spider, 
I bet you can't catch me!
You've grown too fat you lazy lob.
You're just an old Tomnoddy!
Hey Attercop! Hey Attercop!
You can't catch anybody."

And then the old, fat spider,
He spun a final thread.
I said, "Hey old, fat spider,
It's time that you were dead!"
I threw my sword to cut his silk,
To kill the old Tomnoddy. 
But then I thought, I'll leave him be;
He can't catch anybody.

I met an old fat spider
In his spinning tree.
His web all old and tattered,
And he could hardly see.
I shooed a fly into his lair
To feed the old Tomnoddy.
'Cause how can you kill a spider
Who can't catch anybody?
 How can you kill a spider
 Who can't catch anybody?
