album: Spiral Staircase (1969) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4rX4qJ2Te8 [Intro] [Verse 1] Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet Eating her curds and her whey. Along came a spider and sat down beside her And frightened Miss Muffet away. [Bridge 1] Oh oh what a shame. Oh oh who do you blame ? [Verse 2] The spider soon - finished his web And the rain came down and hung it with diamonds. And a bird flew along with the stroke of his wing Broke the web he ate the spider. [Bridge 2] Oh oh what a shame. Oh what a waste of the rain [Verse 3] The bird flew up high into the sky And the sun lit the tips of his wet wings with fire. And a man with a gun shot him down to the ground And went home and sang in the choir. [Outro] / / /
