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)
