Theme From Spiderman
Soundtrack & Theme Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spider man, spider man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web any size
Catches thieves just like flies
Look out!
There comes the spider man
Is he strong?
Listen, bud
He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead
Hey, there!
There goes the spider man
In the chill of the night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time
Spider man, spider man
Friendly neighborhood spider man
Wealth and fame
He's ignorant
Action is his reward
Look out!
Here comes the spider man
To him, life's a big bang up




Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the spider man.

Tobey Maguire, we miss you as Spider-Man, and if there was a way for you to come back, I would cry

[2020 Edit] Holy Hell, Thanks for the likes guys!!

[2021 Edit] Sorry I'm late, had to beat an old lady with a stick to edit this! …LETS GOOO BABY!!! I know I'm late in replying, but SWEET JESUS OUR PRAYERS HAS BEEN ANSWERED!!!!!!!! NO WAY HOOOME!!!

Now....we just need either A. No Way Home paving the way so that we might get S-M 4 and Possibly TASM 3.

Or B. Give Tobey and Andrew Garfield an emotional send off, since we never really got to say goodbye to their rolls as their respective Spider-Men. I'm Not saying kill them, but at least if we don't get sequels to them, a final sendoff will be appreciated.

[Dec 14th Update] Its happened everyone....we can now celebrate and relish that our hopes and dreams has been heard by the church of Marvel and Pastor Kevin Feige. Let us sing the holy song of Spider-Man together my brothers and sisters.

Phenomenal.
Amazing.
Spectacular.
Sensational.
No Way Home is hands down my favorite Spider-Man movie of all time. And possibly my favorite Superhero movie of 2021....this was everything I wanted. 20 years of Spider-Man movie history and the nostalgia was excellent, the emotion was powerful. Tom Holland....Thank you for your best performance, and I cant wait to see where you go from here.

[DEC 26TH 2022 FINAL UPDATE]
It's been a year plus a week or two, but it's been that amount of time since No Way Home released and had us on a emotional roller-coaster love letter to everything Spidey. Having idea of Tobey and Andrew back seemed like a dream, but it became reality and worked in a amazing way. Love this music, love the film, and importantly, I will always love Spider-Man.
