A Musical Interlude (or: Raffi’s Nightmare)
C’mon, kids, sing along!
♬ Ohhhhhhh … ♫
THE GREAT BIG HAIRY SPIDER
[To the tune of “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider”]
The great big hairy spider
Leaped out and killed a bug
Sucked the corpse dry
And dropped it on the rug
Then it hunkered down
And laid a million eggs
And a million baby spiders
Came crawling up your legs!
Dad! It’s no fun without the puppets. Put down the glass of wine and do it right.
(Sigh) all right . . .

“Sucked the corpse dry . . . “
“. . . and dropped it on the rug”
“Then it hunkered down . . . “
“. . . and laid a million eggs”
“And a million baby spiders . . . “
“. . . came crawling up your legs!”
OK, sleep tight!
