[Verse 1]
E
I remember when Mary Lou said
"You wanna walk me home from school"
     A               E
Well I said, "Yes, I do"
E
She said, "I don't have to go right home
And I would kinda like to be alone some
   A
If you would"
             E
I said, "Me, too"
B
And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
    A                              E
And she said, "Do what you want to do"
B
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
      A
And I shook it at her
                            E
And I said "This frog's for you"
 
[Chorus]
           E
She said, "I don't like spiders and snakes
     
Sittin on the Dock of the Bay
                          A
And that ain't what it takes to love me
              E
You fool, you fool
E
I don't like spiders and snakes
                                A
And that ain't what it takes to love me
                           E G A A G E
Like I want to be loved by you"

[Verse 2]
E
Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I call her up when I got a dime
          A
I say, "Hello, baby"
                     E
She says, "Ain't you cool"
I say, "Do you remember when
"And would you like to get together again"
                A             E
She says, "I'll see you after school"
B
I was shy and so for a while
Most of my love was touch and smile
    A                       E
Til she said, "Come on over here"
B
I was nervous as you might guess
Still looking for somethin' to slip down her dress
    A                                  E
And she said, "Let's make it perfectly clear"
 
[Chorus]
           E
She said, "I don't like spiders and snakes
                                A
And that ain't what it takes to love me
              E
You fool, you fool
E
I don't like spiders and snakes
                                A
And that ain't what it takes to love me
                           E G A  A G E
Like I want to be loved by you"
