Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah
A few stains on the wall
But that was nothing new to Harry's head
Even though he was strapped down to his bed
Strapped down
Harry felt preety good
Knock knock
Knock knock
Is anybody there?
Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah
But it didn't have the string that would ring the nurse
It wasn't there
Poor Harry, he had it coming
Poor Harry
Sow he didn't feel so good
Here comes doctor Eastmann and nursie needle dear
Look at wat they got you
The crawly box
[Nurse] Don't be such a baby, Harry, stop that now
The doctor's here to help you... It's eastmann time!
In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen
Black, brown, grey and hairy
We've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary
Yeah, we've got them all
I can hear hit, the spider's lullaby
I can feel it, the spider's crawl on by
In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen
Nurse needle, it is time to begin
Nurse needle, stick it in
A brown Lycosa's what I've got inside this box
I'm gonna let him out to see just how you feel
When he's around
If you move too much he might just bite you
But we'll just have to wait
And see about that
Deep into the night, they were testing him
So many different species, Harry could not win
They forgot the grey one, she was full of eggs
And she would find a warm spot back in Harry's neck
It's so moist and warm in here
Knock knock
Knock knock
Is anybody there?
You forgot some spiders in my room yesterday
Now I've got this stunning pain
And my neck is feeling weird, oh I might die
Overnight some of your spiders must have bit me
They were all over me!
Oh Harry, don't be such a fool
That same night harry died
When they found him he was grey and white
Black, brown, grey and hairy
We've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary
Yeah, we've got them all
I can hear hit, the spider's lullaby
I can feel it, the spider's crawl on by
In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen
Take him to the morgue
Take him to the morgue
