Baby Snake by Elliott Park

I have a sad sad story
I'll tell it in a song
I found a baby python
in the woods behind my home

I kept it in a coffee can
underneath my bed
I (1)____________ my (2)________ daily
on a leash made out of thread

For seven months I (3)________ this up
dreaming of the day
of (4)______________ into show and tell
with a 10 foot python snake

But I (5)________ a big mistake
(or a (6)__________ one I should say)

My baby (7)__________ is (8)________ a worm
The vet just checked
It is confirmed

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

My friend and I made a snake cage
From chicken wire and sticks
We (10)____________ all weekend on it
This news (11)________ (12)__________ us sick

Cause (13)________ cage won't keep a worm in
Never could, never will
A worm'll (14)____________ (15)__________ through it
And disappear into the silt

My friend, he's got a fishin' pole
and a (16)________ I've never seen
And he wants to take him fishin'
if you know just what I mean

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

My baby snake, is just a worm.

I don't just (19)________ a (20)________ snake

And when I get a (21)________ one, at (22)__________ I'll have somethin' to feed it

Nah, I'm just kiddin' (23)__________ that

But my baby snake is just a worm
the vet (24)________ checked, it is confirmed
By now he (25)____________ be slinkin'
But all he does is squirm

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

My baby snake is just
a little ole worm
