	Story Behind the Song We remember this old cautionary poem from many years ago and felt it needed a new life as a song. Lyrics Will you walk into my parlor? said the spider to the fly Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy The way into the parlor is up a winding stair And I have many things to show you when youre there Oh no, no, no, no, no, said the little fly Id rather stay right here and let the chance go by Oh no, no, no, no, no, you might put me in a spin If I go upstairs, I might never come down again Im sure you must be weary from soaring up so high Come rest upon my pillow said the spider to the fly I will close the curtains, the sheets are fine and thin Why dont you sleep awhile and I will tuck you in Oh no, no, no, no, no, said the little fly Id think Ill fly away and let this chance go by Oh no, no, no, no, no, you might put me in a spin And if I fall asleep, I might never wake up again The spider turned around and went into his den He knew the silly fly would soon be back again He wove a silky web in a corner way up high And set his table ready to dine upon the fly He went to his door and he began to sing Please come back, pretty fly, with your silver wing Your robes are green and purple, theres a crest upon your head Your eyes are like diamonds, but mine are dull as lead It wasnt very long before our silly little fly Heard the spiders song and came slowly flitting by She was thinking of her eyes And the crest upon her head She didt see who watched her with his eyes as dull as lead Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, said the spider to the fly Ive waited for this moment - I wont let this chance go by He dragged her up the stairs into his dismal den She stayed inside his parlor and she never came back again- No, she never came back again. And she did the spin. She did the spin, (3X) And she never came back again. (3x low, 3x high)
