This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Look, he's crawling up my wall

Black and hairy, ve-ry small

Hanging by a little thread

Now he's dropped on to the floor

Heading for the bedroom door

Maybe he's as scared as me

Where's he gone now, I can't see

There he is wrapped in a ball

Doesn't seem to move at all

Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure

Pick this book up off the floor

Creepy, crawly

Creepy, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He's come to a sticky end (creepy, crawly)

Don't think he will ever mend (creepy, crawly)

Never more will he crawl 'round (creepy, crawly)

He's embedded in the ground (creepy, crawly)
