So on many lyric websites it says the flinty bit goes:

Along came a spider
It was creepy like dracula
It spoke like it was a friend
So I CAME with adrenaline..

That's not what I'm hearing. 'Spider' or 'Spide' is another word for 'Chav', so it can be referring to a person.
"So I CAME with adrenaline" sounds quite stupid to me.
I've heard the song over 20 times now and I'm certain that I'm hearing
"So I BIT him with adrenaline". I also hear this in the Live performance they do.
Listen to it carefully as "Came" then listen to it as "Bit 'em". It sounds WAY more like it. Plus.. Biting someone sounds like a flinty thing to do

Listen for yourself. Discuss.

funny thing though, i got the japanese release of imd, and the lyrics r innit... but i cant get it now, have other stuff to do

It's certainly "So I bit him with adrenaline". Some jerk heard them wrong and put them on the net.

I have to agree, if you look at the video for it he actually acts out the 'bit him with adrenaline' part as he sings it. I originally thought they were . . . .

along came a spider
he had eight legs and a spatula
he spoke like he wazza french
so I hit him with some garlic bread

We can all be wrong sometimes

Well this is what I got:

I got 'came' instead of 'bit'. I'm also not too sure to be honest.

I prefer the SpongeBob version

Along came a SpongeBob
He had a hat and a spatula
He showed me his frying pan
So I ate with adrenaline

o0o0o0 That's a good one!

Yeah, that "he was dripping like Dracula" would be quite good also...you see Dracula had just bitten some victims neck and got some blood dripping from his sharp teeth Keef got scared and when pumped up with adrenaline he punched that poor fellow right in the face! That would be the case if it's "hit him with adrenaline". Though in the video he does like sort of act like biting when he says it.

Offical ones are: along came a spider, he was creeping like dracula, he spoke like he was a friends, so i bit him with adrenalin.. just typed em down from the lyrics inlay.
