Sneaky Snake

Tom T. Hall

Boys and girls take warning

If you go near the lake

Keep your eyes wide open

And look for sneaky snake



Now, maybe you won't see him

And maybe you won't hear

But he'll sneak up behind you

And drink all your root beer



And then sneak snake goes dancing

Wiggling and a-hissing

Sneaky snake goes dancing

A-giggling and a-kissing

I don't like old sneaky snake

He laughs too much you see

When he goes wiggling through the grass

It tickles his underneath



Well sneaky snake drinks root beer

And he just makes me sick

When he is not dancing

He looks just like stick



Now he doesn't have any arms or legs

You cannot see his ears

And while we are not looking

He's stealing all of our beer



And then sneak snake goes dancing

Wiggling and a-hissing

Sneaky snake goes dancing

A-giggling and a-kissing

I don't like old sneaky snake

He laughs too much you see

When he goes wiggling through the grass

It tickles his underneath
