Anansi
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Anansi is a spider
Anansi is a man
Anansi is a lazy one
do little as he can,
Yeah, do little as he can.
Anansi has mango tree
he loves the fruit so ripe.
He cannot reach the mangos but
he longs to have a bite.
Anansi is a spider
Anansi is a man
Anansi is a lazy one
do little as he can,
Yeah, do little as he can.
So, Anansi tells his friend the crow
you're beautiful to me.
Old crow calls her friends so they
can hear his flattery.
The crows fly to the mango tree
they bend the branches down.
Anansi watch them swing and sway
and mangos hit the ground.
Anansi is a spider
Anansi is a man
Anansi is a clever one
He always have a plan
Yeah, he always have a plan
Anansi is a spider
Anansi is a man
Anansi is a lazy one
do little as he can
Yeah, do little as he can.
