Spider-man, Spider-man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, sweet surprise
Catches thieves just like flies
Look out! Here comes the Spider-man!
Is he strong? Listen, Bud!
He’s got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread?
No escape from his spiderweb
Look out! There goes the Spider
When the chill meets the night
At the scream of the crime
Like a laser light
He arrives just in time
Spider-man, Spider-man
Doing the impossible. Why? Because he can
Spider-man, Spider-man
Doing what he gotta get according to the plan
Look out!
Life is a great big bang-up
Wherever there’s a hang-up
You’ll find the Spider-man!
