Join Andy Day and Rebecca Keatley to sing about the West African folk-tale character Anansi. The song is part of our KS1 Music series 'Traditional Tales'.
Anansi is a spider
Who loves to break the rules
He鈥檚 really rather clever
鈥楾hough he鈥檚 never been to school
He goes just where he pleases
No one knows where to
You may or may not like him
It鈥檚 really up to you!
(Chorus)His name鈥檚 Anansi!
And he鈥檚 the greatest spider!
He鈥檚 Anansi!
Watch out or he鈥檒l trick ya!
You may see him in the country
You may see him in the town
But when you turn and look again
Anansi is gone!
Anansi writes the rule book
A rule book just for him
He always likes to have a joke
He always likes to win
If he鈥檚 standing by you
My advice: 鈥榃atch out!鈥
鈥楥ause nothing ever goes to plan
When he鈥檚 about!
(Chorus)His name鈥檚 Anansi!
And he鈥檚 the greatest spider!
He鈥檚 Anansi!
Watch out or he鈥檒l trick ya!
You may see him in the country
You may see him in the town
But when you turn and look again
Anansi is gone!
3 Anansi is a joker
He鈥檚 clever and headstrong
He loves to play his tricks on you
Although they can go wrong
This never seems to put him off
He鈥檒l just shrug and then鈥
Up he鈥檒l get, with a grin!
And start all over again!
(Chorus)His name鈥檚 Anansi!
And he鈥檚 the greatest spider!
He鈥檚 Anansi!
Watch out or he鈥檒l trick ya!
You may see him in the country
You may see him in the town
But when you turn and look again
Anansi is gone!
