Marianne was a good girl

The daughter of Professor Jones

One fateful day during a walk through the jungle

She fell into the catacombes

Now it's dark and damp

And she's without a lamp

Will the Professor hear his daughter's cry?

Little does he know she's fallen into the pit

Of the beast with sixteen eyes





(Chorus)

Professor Jones

He did not know

Professor Jones

He did not know

Where was his daughter?

Where did she go?

She's fallen to the beast of the webby hole

Tarantula!(x5)





With giant fangs

And eight hairy legs

The monster lives in an underground maze

Beneath the carpet of the Amazon jungle

It lies and waits for helpless prey

Now Professor Jones

Knew the legend of the monster

He found the mouth of the webby hole

Armed to the teeth he ventured forth

If he'd live or die he did not know





(Chorus)



Tarantula, Tarantula, Tarantula...
