A
A D A
I don't think too clearly on matters sincerely
D A E
And matters sincerely seem cloudy at best
A D A
There's debate about the mascot for a building in the neighborhood
D A E A
And linoleum chickens are growing out west
E D A
Which one is larger, the spider or the spaceship?
E D E
It's the question of the hour, if you know what I mean
E D A
Which one is more powerful, the spider or the astronaut?
D A F A
In the score left unsettled, it remains to be seen
Let's ponder this question, why did I eat peanuts?
Though pretty to look at, it's starting to seem
That beautiful peanuts are there to be eaten
May somehow not fit into nature's great scheme
Which one is larger, the spider or the spaceship?
It's the question of the hour, if you know what I mean
Which one is more powerful, the spider or the astronaut?
In the score left unsettled, it remains to be seen
SOLO
Mr. Saturday Night is a cowboy in a motorcar
With a head full of answers to criminal schemes
His daddy's in prison and his friends are all fuckers
The car drinks petroleum, Mr. S runs on beans
Which one is larger, the spider or the spaceship?
It's the question of the hour, if you know what I mean
Which one is more powerful, the spider or the astronaut?
In the score left unsettled, it remains to be seen
And which one is larger, the spider or the spaceship?
It's the question of the hour, if you know what I mean
Which one is more powerful, the spider or the astronaut?
In the score left unsettled, it remains to be seen
