Spider Fingers

So nice to be here

With all you good people

Is anybody listening

What we're doing tonight

Could you give us a chance

While you hit the sauce

I might try a little flash up here

Just to get ourselves across (Hit it)

Let the spirit linger

Well-uh, get up (Hey)

And do the spider fingers

Check the spider fingers (Check it!)

I could show you on a table

I could show you on a chair

It's best shown on the black and whites

I know I could take you there

It's just a little hand trick

A little prestidigitation

Better get out your Hanon

A little practice and repetition

Well, we better do something

Before they tell us to get lost

Sometimes you've just got to repeat yourself

Just to get your point across (Hit it)

Let the spirit linger (Hey)

Well-uh, get up (Hey)

Do the spider fingers (Okay)

Oh, the spider fingers

(Spider)

Do the spider fingers

A little spider tongue

How long will we be here

Well, babe I just don't know

Depends on fate, the luck of the draw

Or maybe a little flashy show (Hit it)

Let the spirit linger

Well-uh, get up (Hey)

And do the spider fingers (Oh, hey, hey)

Oh, the spider fingers

(Spider fingers)
