Karaoké The Snake Al Wilson

On her way to work one morning

Down the path along side the lake

A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake

His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew

Oh well she cried I'll take you in and I'll take care of you

Take me in, tender woman

Take me in for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman sighed the snake

Now she wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk

And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk

Now she hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived

Now she found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived

Take me in, tender woman

Take me in for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman sighed the snake

Now she clutched him to her bosom you're so beautiful she cried

But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died

Now she stroked his pretty skin again

And then kissed and held him tight

But instead of saying thanks the snake gave her a vicious bite

Take me in, tender woman

Take me in for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman sighed the snake

I saved you cried the woman and you've bitten me even why

And you know your bite is poisonous and now

I'm gonna die

Oh shut up huh, silly woman said the reptile with a grin

Well you knew damn well

I was a snake before you brought me in

Please take me in, tender woman

Take me in for heaven's sake

Take me in, tender woman sighed the snake

Sighed the snake

Take me in, tender woman sighed the snake sighed the snake

Take me in, tender woman
