Dr. Calypso – The Snake Lyrics

Ska

On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender hearted woman
Saw a poor head frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been
All frozen with the dew
Oh well she cried I'll take you in
And I'll take care of you
Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in just for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Oh sad poor snake
She wrapped him up all cozy
In a coat of dew robеd silk
And he laid him by thе fireside
With some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night
As soon as she had arrived
There she found the pretty snake
She'd taken me in and been revived
Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in just for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Oh sad poor snake
She clutched him to her bosom
You're so beautiful she cried
For if I had no frog to eat him
By now I'm going to die
Oh shut up silly woman
Said the reptile with a grin
You know darn well I was a snake
Before you poked me in
Please take me in oh tender woman
Take me in just for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Oh sad poor snake
Now save your grip petty woman
You'll bit me in a while
You know you bite is poisonous
And now I'm going to die
Oh shut up silly woman
Said the reptile with a grin
You know darn well I was a snake
Before you poked me in
Please take me in oh tender woman
Take me in just for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Oh sad poor snake
Oh sad poor snake
Oh sad poor snake
Oh take me in tender woman
I'm only too pretty snake
I'm only too pretty snake
I'm only too pretty snake
I'm only
