Lyrics by BobB
Music, vocals - suno AI

The spider spins its silky web,
Carefully constructing its trap.
Then it sits and waits for its prey
To figuratively land in its lap.

Patiently, it waits and waits.
It hopes an unsuspecting fly
Will dart into its fibrous silk
Where it will then bid life good-bye.

The web shakes. Aha! A victim!
Very aware of the struggling shape,
The spider rushes to nab the creature,
For whom there will be no escape.

After injecting the fly with venom,
Then it quickly and deftly bestrides
Its helpless and now paralyzed victim.
The venom will liquify its insides.

The spider also wraps its capture.
Soon the sneaky spiderweb spinner
Will hungrily suck out every bit
Of liquified parts of the fly for dinner.

Of course, not all spiders spin webs.
Some just sit and patiently wait
For their prey to wander by.
Then they pounce and seal its fate.

So who's the spider? Vladimir Putin.
Its prey? Americans who pretend
That Putin is NOT our adversary,
But, instead, a trustworthy friend.

Меркнет небо голубое,
Молкнут громкие слова,
Дым над гордою трубою
Различим уже едва.
 
Света нет в моей каюте
И не топлено давно.
…Пароход «Владимир Путин»
Погружается на дно,
 
С каждым часом всё быстрее
Достигая глубины,
Над водою только реи
Да и то с трудом видны.
 
И грозит в иллюминатор
В мрачном сумраке морском
Чудо-юдо рыба НАТО
Мне мохнатым плавником.
 
Но ведь есть же пароходы
В этом мире, господа,
Где гражданские свободы
Расцветают хоть куда,
 
Где народ живёт богато,
Даже если денег нет.
…И зачем, дурак, когда-то
Я на этот взял билет.

Пароход «Владимир Путин»
