(Sung to the tune of, well, do we have to tell you?)
Spider Tack, Spider Tack
It makes up for a talent lack
Spin a pitch, rally’s die
Turn home runs into weak pop flies
Look out! The pitcher’s got Spider Tack.
Is it strong? Listen bud
Ten times more spin than using mud
Can it make a pitch break?
Get outs down the middle on one’s they take
Strike three! He’s using Spider Tack.
In the heat of night, with the game on the line
Just employ the tack and strike out more than nine
Spider Tack, Spider Tack
Pitch outside and still brush them back
Wealth and fame can be yours
Make the game a total bore
With tack, it will off set your heater
Who cares if you’re a cheater…
You’re using Spider Tack!
