(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 bite.. Chorus. "I saved you!" cried that woman. "and you've bitten me but why?". "you know your bite 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.
