[D] [A] [D]
There was a [D] redback on the toilet seat when [G] I was there last night
I [A] didn't see him in the dark but [A7] boy I felt his [D] bite
I jumped high up into the air and [G] when I hit the ground
that [A] crafty redback spider wasn't [A7] nowhere to be [D] found
{c: }
I rushed in to the missus told her [G] just where I'd been bit
she [A] grabbed the cutthroat razor blade and I [A7] nearly took a [D] fit
I said, "Just forget what's on your mind and [G] call the doctor please
Cos' I've [A] got a feeling that your cure is [A7] worse than the di-[D]sease
{c: }
There was a [G] redback on the toilet seat when I was there last [D] night
I [E7] didn't see him in the dark but boy I felt his [A7] bite
And [D] now I'm here in hospital, a [G] sad and sorry plight
and I [A] curse the redback spider on the [A7] toilet seat last [D] night [A] [D]
{c: }
I can't lay down, I can't sit up and I [G] don't know what to do
And all the [A] nurses think it's funny but that's [A7] not my point of [D] view
I tell you it's embarrasing and [G] that's to say the least,
For [A] I'm too sick to eat a bite, while the [A7] spider had a [D] feast.
{c: }
And when I get back home again, I'll [G] tell you what I'll do.
I'll [A] make that Redback suffer for the [A7] pain I'm going [D] through.
I've had so many needles, I'm [G] looking like a sieve.
And I [A] promise you that spider hasn't [A7] very long to [D] live. [A] [D]
{c: }
There was a [G] redback on the toilet seat when I was there last [D] night
I [E7] didn't see him in the dark but boy I felt his [A7] bite
And [D] now I'm here in hospital, a [G] sad and sorry plight
(slowing) and I [A] curse the redback spider on the [A7] toilet seat last [D] night [G] [D]
