C F
There was a redback on the toilet seat when I was there last night,
G G7 C
I didn’t see him in the dark, but boy, I feIt his bite.
F
I jumped high up into the air and when I hit the ground,
G G7 C
that crafty redback spider wasn’t nowhere to be found.
C F
I rushed in to the missus, told her just where I’d been bit
G G7 C
she grabbed the cut-throat razor blade, I nearly took a fit.
F
I said, “Forget what’s on your mind and call the doctor please,
G G7
’cause I’ve got a feeling that your cure is worse
C
than the disease.”
CHORUS:
F
There was a redback on the toilet seat,
C
when I was there last night,
D D7 G
I didn’t see him in the dark, but boy, I feIt his bite.
C F
And now I’m here in hospital, a sad and sorry plight,
G G7 C
and I curse that redback spider on the toilet seat last night.
C F
I can’t lie down, I can’t sit up, I don’t know what to do,
G G7 C
the nurses think it’s funny, that’s not my point of view.
F
I tell you, it’s embarrassing, and that’s to say the least,
G G7 C
’cause I’m too sick to eat a bite, while the spider had a feast.
CHORUS:
C F
And when I get back home again I’ll tell you what I’ll do,
G G7 C
I’ll make that redback suffer for the pain I’m going through.
F
I’ve had so many needles, that I’m looking like a sieve,
G G7 C
and I promise you that spider hasn’t very long to live.
