I have a sad sad story
I'll (1)________ it in a song
I (2)__________ a baby python

I kept it in a coffee can
underneath my bed
I walked my baby daily
on a leash made out of thread

For (3)__________ (4)____________ I (5)________ this up
dreaming of the day
of (6)______________ (7)________ show and tell
with a 10 foot (8)____________ snake

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

My baby (9)__________ is just a worm
The vet just checked
It is confirmed

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

Cause that (13)________ won't keep a worm in
Never could, never will

and a (16)________ I've never seen
And he wants to take him fishin'

But all he does is squirm

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

But all he does is squirm

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

My baby snake is just
