Will you walk into my parlor	A
Said a spider to a fly	B
'Tis the prettiest little parlor	A
That ever you did spy	B
The way into my parlor	A
Is up a winding stair	C
And I have many pretty things	D
To show you when you're there	C
O no no said the little fly	B
To ask me is in vain	E
For who goes up your winding stair	C
Can ne'er come down again	F
	-
I'm sure you must be weary	G
With soaring up so high	B
Will you rest upon my little bed	H
Said the spider to the fly	B
There are pretty curtains drawn around	I
The sheets are fine and thin	J
And if you like to rest awhile	K
I'll snugly tuck you in	J
O no no said the little fly	B
For I've often heard it said	H
They never never wake again	F
Who sleep upon your bed	H
	-
Said the cunning spider to the fly	B
Dear friend what shall I do	L
To prove the warm affection	M
I've always felt for you	L
I have within my pantry	G
Good store of all that's nice	N
I'm sure you're very welcome	O
Will you please to take a slice	N
O no no said the little fly	B
Kind sir that cannot be	G
I've heard what's in your pantry	G
And I do not wish to see	G
	-
Sweet creature said the spider	A
You're witty and you're wise	P
How handsome are your gauzy wings	D
How brilliant are your eyes	P
I have a little looking glass	Q
Upon my parlor shelf	R
If you'll step in one moment dear	S
You shall behold yourself	R
I thank you gentle sir she said	H
For what you're pleased to say	T
And bidding you good morning now	U
I'll call another day	T
	-
The spider turned him round about	V
And went into his den	F
For well he knew the silly fly	B
Would soon be back again	F
So he wove a subtle web	W
In a little corner sly	B
And set his table ready	G
To dine upon the fly	B
	-
He went out to his door again	F
And merrily did sing	X
Come hither hither pretty fly	B
With pearl and silver wing	X
Your robes are green and purple	Y
There's a crest upon your head	H
Your eyes are like the diamond bright	Z
But mine are dull as lead	H
	-
Alas alas how very soon	A2
This silly little fly	B
Hearing his wily flattering words	B2
Came slowly flitting by	B
With buzzing wings she hung aloft	C2
Then near and nearer drew	L
Thought only of her brilliant eyes	P
And green and purple hue	L
Thought only of her crested head	H
Poor foolish thing At last	D2
Up jumped the cunning spider	A
And fiercely held her fast	D2
	-
He dragged her up his winding stair	C
Into his dismal den	F
Within his little parlor but	E2
She ne'er came out again	F
And now dear little children	M
Who may this story read	H
To idle silly flattering words	B2
I pray you ne'er give heed	F2
Unto an evil counselor	A
Close heart and ear and eye	B
And take a lesson from this tale	G2
Of the spider and the fly	B
