A little blind spider took the wheel Navigatin' grass blades completely by feel Got a sassy chassis, sparklin in the sun All four small bald fat tires Rockin through the sand and burnin' up Little dune buggy in the sand Little blue dune buggy in my hand I got a rubber-band motor hummin' on a beach, ready for fun Quit spinnin' and webbin', come out play in the sun Eight thimble-sized cylinders, be as smooth as you please Spider's bad-ass fat old abdomen stuck in the buggy seat Squishy transmission was caught in drive Spider man was squinting at the sand in the sky Spider woman in the front seat, screamin' 'Go, Go, Go,' He's ridin' the accelerator down to the floor with his fuzzy little toe Little blue dune buggy
