lyrics

katipō where will you go
if redback comes and steals your home
if capensis steatoda
can take your place on Aotearoa

you think that tasty bugs are great
and sometimes eat small vertebrates
hasselti’s a widow too
but she’s not quite as cute as you

[chorus]
Latrodectus needs protectus
from nature-human dialectus
got us feeling introspectus
wanna find some way to correct this

red and black along your back
hang upside down, wait for a snack
hourglass on belly too
for hours spent thinkin’ of you

cobweb combs on your rear feet
a cozy web along the beach
in pīngao grass or driftwood hides
watching moon and stars and tides

[chorus]

you think that tasty bugs are great
and sometimes eat small vertebrates
hasselti’s a widow too
but she’s not quite as cute as you

katipō where will you go
if redback comes and steals your home
if capensis steatoda
can take your place on Aotearoa
