BILLY GILMAN LYRICS - The Snake Song

"The Snake Song"



He swallered a frog and hollered yum-yum

He slid down the hillside and darted his tongue

He entered the garden on this bright moonlight night

Then he stopped in his tracks, it was love at first sight



(he said) My skin is black, your skin is green

You dwell in a garden, I live by a stream

Although I'm short and stocky and you're long and lean

I've got a crush on you

Then he squeezed her tighter and tighter and tighter

I've got a crush on you



He said I'm a king snake, and you'll be my queen

With a butler and serpents, and your own private stream

If you refuse me it would be such a shame

Cause I'm so tired of doing my own fang



Then he squeezed her tighter

To excite her and delight her

Oh I've got a crush on you

(and I'll be back tomorrow)



Next day when he got there, a two-legged man

Was holding sweet green thing in his big human hand

A long jet of water shot out of her nose

Ol' king snake had fallen in love with a hose



(he said) My skin is black, your skin is green

You dwell in a garden, I live by a stream

Although You're made of plastic I think you're Fantastic!

I've got a crush on you

I've got a crush on you

(but I don't think it's going to work out)
