Tegenaria duellica

Give me nests in the basement in boxes;
Give me webs in the wooden beams;
Give me flies when they fly to my funnels;
Let me scuttle out and hear the screams.
Tegenaria! Tegenaria!
Tegenaria du-ell-ica!
Rest assured they're living with you,
You'll discover where they are.

They have venom that's harmless to humans,
They are shy and they love to hide,
They can run at three metres a second,
And the females are four inches wide.
Tegenaria! Tegenaria!
Tegenaria du-ell-ica!
Rest assured they're living with you,
You'll discover where they are.

They are rather more worried by humans
Than the humans are scared of them,
So be nice to your giant house spider
When it wanders by at 3am.
Tegenaria! Tegenaria!
Tegenaria du-ell-ica!
Rest assured they're living with you,
You'll discover where they are.
