Spiderman
Get away babe, that's what I am
Female: Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Female: He spoke of an intoxicating spell,
And gave me a mysterious pleasure!
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Like an eight-legged spider,
You crawl all over my body.
Going a little lower and lower,
You crawl and take my breath away!
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Yeah, that's right!
Get away babe, that's what I am
Walking Spiderman
I'll spin a web around you
She won't even know what hit you
Spiderman, Spiderman, that's what I am
When you wake from your dream and look for me,
My darling, I'll hide inside your eyelashes.
Female: Fearing that you will leave if I open my eyes,
My love, I won't open my eyelids!
What are my desires, girl?
Oh, there is a hunger deep within my belly!
Female: There is no time to cook,
In this hour of desire, devour me raw!
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Whenever I take off my clothes and sway,
Oh, your memory devours me!
Male: Whenever a pair of rabbits bounce,
My love, your feminine beauty shines!
Ah, setting both the night and me on fire,
How are you warming yourself in December?
Male: Draping yourself in fire from within,
You call out to me, crying, "Water, water!"
Oh, oh, oh...
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Do you hear me?
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Ooh
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman
Spiderman
Spiderman, Spiderman, Spiderman...
