(Alright, here's the Snake...you dig?)
On the way to work one morning
down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman
saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin
had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh, well" she cried, "I'll take you in
and I'll take care of you."
CHORUS
Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
SSSSiiiiggghhhhed the SSSSSSnake
She wrapped him up all cozy
in a comforter of silk
and then laid him by the fireside
with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night
and as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in
had been revived.
Chorus
She clutched him to her bosom
"You're so beautiful" she cried
"but if I hadn't brought you in
by now you might have died."
Well she stroked his pretty skin again
and then kissed him really tight,
but instead of saying thanks,
the snake gave her a vicious b***.
Chorus
"I saved you!" cried that woman
"and you've bitten me but why?"
"you know your b*** is poisonous
and now I'm gonna die."
"Ha ha, shut up, silly woman."
said that reptile with a grin.
"You knew darn well I was a snake
before you took me in."
Chorus
Oh, you better take me in ssssssiiiiigggghhhed the Snake.
