BILLY GILMAN - 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 [bad word] on you 
Then he squeezed her tighter and tighter and tighter 
I've got a [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 
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 I'm short and stocky and you're long and lean 
I've got a [bad word] on you 
Then he squeezed her tighter and tighter and tighter 
I've got a [bad word] on you
