There was a redback on the toilet seat when I was there last night,
I didn't see him in the dark, but boy, I feIt his bite.
I jumped high up into the air and when I hit the ground,
that crafty redback spider wasn't nowhere to be found.
I rushed in to the missus, told her just where I'd been bit
she grabbed the cut-throat razor blade, I nearly took a fit.
I said, "Forget what's on your mind and call the doctor please,
'cause I've got a feeling that your cure is worse
than the disease."
CHORUS:
There was a redback on the toilet seat,
when I was there last night,
I didn't see him in the dark, but boy, I feIt his bite.
And now I'm here in hospital, a sad and sorry plight,
and I curse that redback spider on the toilet seat last night.
I can't lie down, I can't sit up, I don't know what to do,
the nurses think it's funny, that's not my point of view.
I tell you, it's embarrassing, and that's to say the least,
'cause I'm too sick to eat a bite, while the spider had a feast.
CHORUS:
And when I get back home again I’ll tell you what I’ll do,
I’ll make that redback suffer for the pain I'm going through.
I've had so many needles, that I'm looking like a sieve,
and I promise you that spider hasn't very long to live.
CHORUS:
There was a redback on the toilet seat,
when I was there last night,
I didn't see him in the dark, but boy, I feIt his bite.
And now I'm here in hospital, a sad and sorry plight,
and I curse that redback spider on the toilet seat last night.
