Spider on the web
By Jim Merrilees Jan 2008


All day long he lurks there
Looking at the screen
He’s an internet predator
Well you know what I mean.
His speciality is grooming
Though he seldom washes his face
He grooms the pretty girls and boys
And tries to leave no trace.

Chorus
He’s an internet spider
On the World Wide Web.
Come into my parlour
It’s time that I was fed.

He casts his net far and wide
He knows just what to catch
He’s looking for a girl or boy
That he can easily snatch
He calls himself little Ben
And he’s on his dad’s PC
But the truth of the matter is
He’s nearly sixty three.

Repeat Chorus

Chat rooms are his hunting ground
And he knows what to say
Would any little boy or girl
Like to come and play.
I have games that’ll make you laugh
And a puppy dog or two
Well if you pet my puppy
Then maybe I’ll pet you.

Chorus

Well little Ben’s days are numbered
We’ve caught up with him you see
Cause my name is little Bill
And I am forty three
He made a big mistake grooming me
The trickery was mine
This predator is going to jail
For a very long time.


Chorus.

Well all you parents out there
A message just for you.
Look out for your children
Keep an eye on what they do
The web is great for learning
And it can be great fun.
Just watch out for you daughter
And your little son.

Final Chorus

Beware of internet spiders
On the World Wide Web
Don’t let kids into their parlour
Stop these spiders being fed.
