The Snake

CHARLES THOMPSON

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