People tell me you been cheating
Hissing all those lies
Always knew you for a snakebite
Shake your hips and hypnotize
Poison fangs
Rattle tail
But I'm the mongoose
Lie in wait for other lovers
Hissing all those lies
Coiled tightly on a bar stool
Show your theeth and hypnotize
Poison fangs
Rattle tail
But I'm the mongoose
Reptile woman I'll tattoo you on my arm
Round my sword you'll do no harm
Gonna put you in my basket
Play the flute and make you dance
But never trust a reptile woman
Maybe you that's in the trance
Poison fangs
Rattle tail
But I'm the mongoose
On your trail
