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
