## Lyrics

I bought a snake

I bought a snake

I bought a snake and named him Slitherz

I took him home to meet my friends

And decided to sell him online

I got him out (he got him out)

Out of his cage (out of his cage)

And put him on my bed

But then he just went missin'

And he was nowhere to be found

But that was before

We waited a little bit more

He's now safe where he belongs

So now we sing this song

The snake is back! (the snake is back!)

The snake is back! (the snake is back!)

Oh what are you people talkin' 'bout?

Oh we came here to celebrate

But now he's safe and sound

The snake is back!

Oh!

We looked everywhere (we looked everywhere)

We looked everywhere (we looked everywhere)

But he was nowhere to be found

So we called up Reptile Rick

And had him come to our house

He gave a choice (he gave a choice)

This was not nice (this was not nice)

To keep him or take him away

But I decided to keep him anyway

And now he's ours to keep (for now!)

But that was before

We waited a little bit more

He's now safe where he belongs

So now we sing this song

The snake is back! (the snake is back!)

The snake is back! (the snake is back!)

Oh what are you people talkin' 'bout?

Oh we came here to celebrate

But now he's safe and sound

The snake is back!

Oh!

The snake is in the cage

Oh the snake is in the cage

The snake is in the cage

And now he's safe and sound!

Bill, did that hyperactive drink effect your brain?

The snake is back! (the snake is back!) [YEAH!]

The snake is back! (the snake is back!) [WOO!]

Oh what are you people talkin' 'bout, yeah!

Oh we came here to celebrate

But now he's safe and sound

One more time!

The snake is back! (the snake is back!) [WHAT UP?!]

The snake is back! (the snake is back!) [YEAH HE IS!]

Oh what are you people talkin' 'bout?

Oh we came here to celebrate

But now he's safe and sound

The snake is back!

Woo! The snake is back!

Yeah!

## Trivia

* The melody and music of this song is very similar to the famous song "When the Saints Go Marching In".
* Many viewers and fans of the show often wondered why this song was released on the second soundtrack as opposed to the the first one. The reasoning was because the full version of the song was recorded during the production of the third season; despite being first featured in season two.
* In the episode, only the chorus and bridge are featured. In the full version, the verses make up the plot points of the episode it was featured in.
* Ryan Gornman did not contribute vocals to the bridge portion of the song in neither versions. An uncredited artist did.
* Upon the soundtrack's release, this song became the least downloaded of the entire soundtrack as many fans disliked it upon first listen. In more recent years the song gained popularity, as it became apart of a popular internet meme in 2017.
