Chorus:

Anansi – he is a spider, Anansi – he is a man

Anansi – he is a lazy one, do little as he can

Yeah, do little as he can

Anansi has a mango tree, he loves the fruit so ripe

He cannot reach the mangos but he longs to have a bite

(chorus)

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 mango hit

the ground

Anansi – he is a spider, Anansi – he is a man

Anansi – he is a clever one, he always have a plan

(chorus)
