Beautiful morning, ahh Down by the river, ahh Without a warning, ahh Who'd ever guess you'd come across a snake in the grass Every day now, ahh You take a walk here, ahh What do you say now, ahh If you should meet an evil-minded snake in the grass Stop and watch where you're putting your feet, my sweet I don't want to do anything bad But you make me mad and I might bite your face, bite neck, bite arms, bite bite 'Cause I'm, oh, a snake in the grass, oh A snake in the grass Looking around you, ahh You never see me, ahh You'll get a surprise, ahh Should you get entangled with a snake in the grass Under my thick skin, ahh I can be lonely, ahh Please can I come in, ahh And end my sad existence as a snake in the grass Stop and watch where you're putting your feet, my sweet I don't want to do anything bad But you make me mad and I might bite your face, bite neck, bite arms, bite bite 'Cause I'm, oh, a snake in the grass, oh A snake in the grass Under my thick skin, ahh I can be lonely, ahh Please can I come in, ahh And end my sad existence as a snake in the grass
