Baby Snake by Elliott Park

I have a sad sad story
I'll (1)________ 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 walked my baby daily
on a leash (2)________ out of thread

For seven (3)____________ I kept this up
dreaming of the day
of walking into show and tell
with a 10 foot (4)____________ snake

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

My baby (5)__________ is just a worm
The vet just checked
It is confirmed

By now he should be slinking
But all he (6)________ is squirm
My (7)________ (8)__________ is just a worm

My friend and I made a (9)__________ cage
From chicken (10)________ and sticks
We worked all weekend on it
This (11)________ just (12)__________ us sick

Cause that cage won't (13)________ a worm in
Never could, never will
A worm'll squirm right (14)______________ it
And (15)__________________ into the silt

My friend, he's got a fishin' pole
and a (16)________ I've (17)__________ seen
And he wants to (18)________ him fishin'
if you know just what I mean

My baby snake is just a worm
The vet just checked, it is confirmed
By now he should be slitherin' around
But all he does is squirm

My baby snake, is just a worm.

I don't just want a (19)________ snake
I need it
And when I get a real one, at (20)__________ I'll (21)________ somethin' to (22)________ it

Nah, I'm (23)________ kiddin' about that

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

My (26)________ snake, he's just a worm
My baby (27)__________ is (28)________ a worm, yes he is

My baby snake is just
a little ole worm
