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 (1)________ it in a (2)____________ can
underneath my bed
I (3)____________ my baby daily
on a leash (4)________ out of thread

For seven months I kept this up
dreaming of the day
of (5)______________ into show and tell
with a 10 foot python snake

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

My (7)________ (8)__________ is (9)________ a worm
The vet (10)________ checked
It is confirmed

By now he should be slinking
But all he does is squirm
My baby (11)__________ is (12)________ a worm

My (13)____________ and I made a snake cage
From chicken wire and sticks
We worked all weekend on it
This news just (14)__________ us sick

Cause that cage won't keep a (15)________ in
Never could, (16)__________ will
A worm'll (17)____________ right through it
And disappear (18)________ the silt

My friend, he's got a fishin' pole
and a look I've never seen
And he wants to (19)________ him fishin'
if you know (20)________ what I mean

My baby snake is (21)________ 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 (22)________ a worm.

I don't (23)________ want a (24)________ snake
I need it
And when I get a (25)________ one, at least I'll have somethin' to feed it

Nah, I'm just kiddin' (26)__________ that

But my baby snake is just a worm
the vet (27)________ checked, it is confirmed
By now he should be slinkin'
But all he does is squirm

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

My baby snake is just
a little ole worm
