Bob and Louise Decormier - The Spider and The Cricket Lyrics
Verse 1:A spider met a cricket in a field of flax and cloverSaid 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!”ChorusVerse 3:That night the cricket thought a present he would bring her:Knocked at her window with a ring to fit her finger!ChorusVerse 4:She opened her window, and when the curtains parted,A flower pot hit him, and he fell down brokenhearted!ChorusVerse 5:“Oh,” cried his true love, “For forty years I've waited,I know our wedding will still be celebrated!”ChorusVerse 6:“Oh,” cried his true love, “True love cannot be ended.With a thread that I've woven, your heart may still be mended!”ChorusVerse 7:She sewed and she stitched him with a needle that she carriedTook all his life to cure him, but a minute to get married!ChorusVerse 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)
