Arachnids are eight legged
Arachnids are eight legged

Very hairy spiders are arachnids
A spider is a spider if it's eight legged
They are a hungry carnivore
With poison fangs, they're hunting for
Insects, worms, they eat fresh meat

Arachnids are eight legged
Arachnids are eight legged

With six joints a leg, that's forty eight knees
Four pairs of eyes, that's a lot of eyes to see
Their spinnerets make silk and spin
A web to trap their dinner in
Insects, worms, they eat fresh meat

Arachnids are eight legged
Arachnids are eight legged

A Black Widow Spider is a widow 'cause she ate
The male who dared to be her Black Widow mate
Wolf Spider chases prey, Jumping Spider lies in wait
For insects, worms, they eat fresh meat

Arachnids are eight legged
Arachnids are eight legged

35,000 different spiders, maybe more
Feeling with their palps, they're alert predators
Spiderlings, in their cocoon, hatch hungry, hunting soon
For insects, worms, they eat fresh meat

Arachnids are eight legged
Arachnids are eight legged

Arachnids
