Marianne was a good girl The daughter of Professor Jones One fateful day during a walk through the jungle She fell into the catacombes Now it's dark and damp And she's without a lamp Will the Professor hear his daughter's cry? Little does he know she's fallen into the pit Of the beast with sixteen eyes (Chorus) Professor Jones He did not know Professor Jones He did not know Where was his daughter? Where did she go? She's fallen to the beast of the webby hole Tarantula! (x5) With giant fangs And eight hairy legs The monster lives in an underground maze Beneath the carpet of the Amazon jungle It lies and waits for helpless prey Now Professor Jones Knew the legend of the monster He found the mouth of the webby hole Armed to the teeth he ventured forth If he'd live or die he did not know (Chorus) Tarantula, Tarantula, Tarantula...
