Verse 1
ANANSI
G
THE
SPIDER
Bm
Once upon a time in a village far away,
C
D
it was time to eat lunch for the day.
Mr.
G
Bm
Turtle's tummy was a -rumbling.
C
D
He was ready to cook up something.
Mr.
C
D
Under his flippers, yams he bundled.
G
Bm
C
I shall make a yam stew, said he.
D
A delicious feast just for me.
G
Into the pot the yams went smush
D
smash smash.
C
D
He whipped up the stew in it jiffy,
in a flash.
G
Yow!
It was hot and needed to chill,
so he left it on the windowsill.
And
C
D
Nancy, the trickster spider, was nearby.
C
D
G
He'd had no lunch, not even a fly.
D
Suddenly, a delicious smell of stew
G
D
C
G
in his nostrils grew and grew.
Nancy followed the smell towards
D
Bm
a house shaped like a shell.
C
D
There on the sill was a tasty stew.
C
D
And yam was his favourite stew too.
on the house of shell.
Mr
Turtle appeared and sighed as well.
Em
Can I eat some of your stew?
But
G
Mr
Turtle just shook his head.
Mr
Turtle thought this was rude.
Em
D
After all, the stew was his food.
C
G
No, you can't, he said to
Anansi.
Bm
This tasty feast is just for me.
G
Bm
He always made plans that were sneaky.
C
D
He suddenly thought of a cunning trick
to eat this stew ever so quick.
Bm
C
If I make something fly without wings,
Mr
Turtle,
D
G
can I try some of your delicious stew?
It seemed this couldn't be true.
Mr
Turtle laughed.
D
Without wings? I'd like to see you try!
Em
G
If this thing can fly fast an d true,
C
G
D
then I'll give you all of my tasty stew !"
Anansi chuckled then too.
He knew exactly what to do.
D
He shot a long spider string,
G
C
so thin you couldn't see a thing.
D
G
He shot it towards the window, where
D
the stew was ready to go.
G
And
Em
D
Nancy glided on this spider string.
Whoosh!
G
Em
It looked like he was flying!
Em
D
Nancy slided and glided along.
G
The silk string was nice and strong.
Soon, he reached the stew pot,
and in his eight arms it was caught.
Mr
Turtle was so surprised,
he couldn't believe his turtle eyes.
D
G
Why, how did you do that?
Bm
said he.
And
C
D
Nancy giggled and danced with glee.
Mr.
G
Turtle felt sad and defeated.
Little did he know,
G
he'd just been cheated.
Em
D
You can have all the yam stew.
G
C
D
You flew without wings, that is true.
G
I'd like to share this stew, said
Anansi.
Bm
Mr.
D
G
Great idea, I agree.
Bm
Slurp!
C
D
They ate the tasty stew right up,
G
and often after, together would sup.
