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

I kept it in a coffee can
underneath my bed
I walked my baby daily
on a (3)__________ made out of thread

For (4)__________ (5)____________ I kept (6)________ up
dreaming of the day
of walking (7)________ show and tell
with a 10 foot python snake

But I made a big mistake
(or a small one I (8)____________ say)

My (9)________ snake is just a worm
The vet just checked
It is confirmed

By now he should be slinking
But all he does is squirm
My (10)________ snake is (11)________ a worm

My friend and I made a snake cage
From chicken wire and sticks
We (12)____________ all weekend on it
This news just (13)__________ us sick

Cause that cage won't (14)________ a worm in
Never could, never will
A worm'll (15)____________ right 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 (17)________ what I mean

My baby (18)__________ is just a worm

But all he does is squirm

My baby snake, is just a worm.

But all he does is squirm

My (24)________ snake, he's just a worm
My baby snake is just a worm, yes he is

My (25)________ snake is just
a little ole worm
