The Snake

Well, I'm a snake oh yes I'm very smart

But I was cruel without a humble start

And I just laughed when you begged and you pleaded

Now I lay here cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed

So pretty and so timid that's a rabbit's way

A little pessimistic but that's OK

A pig or a goat well, they wouldn't let you be mistreated

So I guess on that note I am not the one you needed

Oh they call me the snake

I’m just feeling my way

Well, I'm a snake oh yes I'm very smart

But I was cruel without a humble start

And I just laughed when you begged and you pleaded

Now I lay here cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed

So pretty and so timid that's a rabbit's way

A little pessimistic but that's OK

A pig or a goat well, they wouldn’t let you be mistreated

So I guess on that note I am not the one you needed
