Anansi Anansi, he is a spider. Anansi, he is a man. Anansi, he is a lazy one, do as little as he can, yeah, do as little as he can. Anansi has a mango tree, he loves the fruit so ripe. He cannot reach the mangoes but he longs to have a bite. (Chorus) Anansi tells his friend the crow, “You’re beautiful to me.” Old crow calls her friend so they can hear his flattery. (Chorus) The crow fly to the mango tree, They bend the branches down. Anansi watch them swing and sway and mangoes hit the ground. (Chorus)
