On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes 条纹腿的蜘蛛人临近

Softly through the shadow of the evening sun 悄声穿过黄昏的暗影

Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead 溜过极乐的死亡之窗 

Looking for the victim shivering in bed 寻找床铺间颤栗的受害者

Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and 搜寻积蓄黑暗中的恐惧

Suddenly 突然  

A movement in the corner of the room 屋角有动静

And there is nothing I can do 当我恐慌地意识到

When I realize with fright 那蜘蛛人将把我当作晚餐时

That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight 我却无能为力



Quietly he laughs and shaking his head 他无声地笑着 摇头又晃脑

Creeps closer now 越爬越近

Closer to the foot of the bed 近到床角 

And softer than shadow and quicker than flies 暗过阴影 快于飞蝇 

His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes 他的手臂环绕我他的舌在我眼

Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy 现在放平稳放轻松我的小宝贝

Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more 别像那样反抗这只会令我更爱你

For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light 点亮灯否则时日太晚我会无法离开

The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight 蜘蛛人今晚要将你做晚餐



And I feel like i'm being eaten 我想自己会被一个巢穴吞噬

By a thousand million shivering furry holes 一个毛骨悚然的毛茸茸的巢穴 

And I know that in the morning I will wake up 我还明白清晨时自己将会

In the shivering cold 在冷颤中惊醒

And the spiderman is always hungry  而蜘蛛人却总是饥肠辘辘
