[E] [G] [A] [G] [E]
[G] [A] [Em]
[E] Yes.
I remember when Mary Lou said,
You want to walk me home from [A] school,
I said, [E]
Yes, I do.
She said, I don't have to go right home,
And I would kind of like to be alone,
[A] Some of you would.
[Em] I said, [E] Me too.
[B] And so we took a stroll,
Wound up down by the swimming [A] hole,
And she said, Do what [E] you ought to do.
[C#m] [B] I got silly and found a frog,
In the water by a hollow [A] log,
And I shook it at her,
And I said, This [E] frog's for you.
She said, [G] I don't like spider [E] snakes,
And that ain't what it [A] takes to love me.
[Em] Mmm-mmm-mmm [E]-mmm.
[Em] I don't like spider [E] snakes,
And that ain't what [Em] it takes to love me.
Like I want to be loved by you.
[E] [A] [E]
[A] [Em]
[E] Well, I think of that girl from time to time,
I call her up when I got a [A] dime,
I said, Hello, baby.
She said, [Em] Ain't you cool?
[E]
I said, Do you remember [Bm] when,
And [E] would you like to get [Em] together again?
She said, I'll see [A] you [E] at school.
[B] I was shy, so for a while,
Most of my love was a touch and [A] smile,
But she said, Come [E] on over here.
[C#m] [B]
I was nervous that you might guess,
Still looking for something to slip down her [A] dress,
And she said, Let's [G] make it [E] very clear.
She said, I don't like spider snakes,
And that ain't [Em] what it [A] takes to love me.
[Em] Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.
I don't like spider [E] snakes,
And that ain't what [G#m] it takes [A] to love [F#m] me.
[G] Like I want to [E] be loved by you.
