The Who "Boris"

[James Dobrovicz]

Well, we wouldn't want you to get a bad grade in school, so the name of the
song is "Boris the Spider." It is somewhat unique in that John Entwhistle
sings it rather than Daltrey or Townshend.

Boris The Spider (Entwistle)
Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider Boris the spider
Now he's dropped on to the floor, heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me, where's he gone now, I can't see
Boris the spider Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
Boris the spider Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
He's come to a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's embedded in the ground
Boris the spider Boris the spider

and indeed John Entwistle (The Ox) wrote it as well, and has a sterling
silver and onyx "boris" necklace that he used to wear on stage. A few of his
custom-made bass guitars were also inlaid with silver spider webs...

hey, may get some more bonus points, you never know!
