In honor of the premiere of Spider-Man: Homecoming, here’s a cover of the Spider-Man theme song.
Arranged and recorded by Maria Petete.
All Rights to Marvel/ owns Spider-Man.
Lyrics:
Spider-Man, Spider-Man,
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man.
Is he strong? Listen bud--
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey there! There goes the Spider-Man.
In the chill of night,
At the scene of the crime,
Like a streak of light,
He arrives just in time!
Spider-Man, Spider-Man,
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Wealth and fame, he’s ignored--
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang-up--
Wherever there’s a hang-up,
You’ll find the Spider-Man!
If you’ve read all the way to the bottom, congratulations! Here’s a funny anecdote:
In recording this song, I finally learned the actual lyrics. My dad used to sing the theme’s melody
