I`m a king snake, huntin` little birds like you;
I`m a king snake, huntin` little birds like you;
I`ll slip in your nest baby, squeeze you all night through.
I crawl on my belly, and I scale the highest tree,
I crawl on my belly, and I scale the highest tree;
All that hard work, whole lot of fun for me.
I`m deaf and I`m dumb, don`t know a word you say,
I`m deaf and I`m dumb, don`t know a word you say;
So all that idle chatter won`t help you get away.
And when I`ve caught you, holding you close and still,
And when I`ve caught you, holding you close and still;
I won`t take just a mouthful, gonna take my fill.
Some people ask me how I catchem `fore they flies,
Some people ask me how I catchem `fore they flies;
I play blues music to`em, keeps `em hypnotized.
