Baby Snake by Elliott Park

I (1)________ a sad sad story
I'll tell it in a song
I found a baby python
in the (2)__________ behind my home

I (3)________ it in a coffee can
underneath my bed
I (4)____________ my baby daily
on a leash made out of thread

For seven months I (5)________ (6)________ up
dreaming of the day
of walking into show and tell
with a 10 foot python snake

But I made a big mistake
(or a small one I should say)

My baby snake is just a worm
The vet (7)________ checked
It is confirmed

By now he should be slinking
But all he (8)________ is squirm
My baby snake is (9)________ a worm

My friend and I (10)________ a snake cage
From chicken wire and sticks
We worked all (11)______________ on it
This news (12)________ makes us sick

Cause that cage won't (13)________ a worm in
Never could, (14)__________ will
A worm'll squirm right through it
And disappear into the silt

My friend, he's got a fishin' pole
and a look I've (15)__________ seen
And he wants to (16)________ him fishin'
if you know just what I mean

My (17)________ (18)__________ is just a worm
The vet (19)________ checked, it is confirmed
By now he should be slitherin' around
But all he does is squirm

My baby snake, is (20)________ a worm.

I don't just want a baby snake
I (21)________ it
And when I get a real one, at least I'll have somethin' to (22)________ it

Nah, I'm (23)________ kiddin' (24)__________ that

But my baby snake is just a worm
the vet just checked, it is confirmed
By now he should be slinkin'
But all he does is squirm

My (25)________ snake, he's just a worm
My baby snake is (26)________ a worm, yes he is

My baby snake is just
a little ole worm
