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 (2)________ it in a coffee can
underneath my bed
I (3)____________ my (4)________ daily
on a (5)__________ (6)________ out of thread

For (7)__________ months I kept this up
dreaming of the day
of walking into show and tell
with a 10 (8)________ python snake

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

My (9)________ snake is (10)________ a worm
The vet just checked
It is confirmed

By now he (11)____________ be slinking
But all he (12)________ is squirm
My baby (13)__________ is just a worm

My friend and I made a (14)__________ cage
From chicken wire and sticks
We worked all (15)______________ on it
This news just makes us sick

Cause that cage won't keep a worm in
Never could, never will
A worm'll squirm (16)__________ through it
And disappear into the silt

My friend, he's got a fishin' pole
and a look I've never seen
And he (17)__________ to take him fishin'
if you (18)________ just what I mean

My baby (19)__________ is just a worm
The vet just checked, it is confirmed
By now he (20)____________ be slitherin' around
But all he does is squirm

My baby snake, is just a worm.

I don't just want a baby snake
I need it
And (21)________ I get a real one, at least I'll have somethin' to (22)________ it

Nah, I'm just kiddin' (23)__________ that

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

My (25)________ snake, he's just a worm
My baby snake is just a worm, yes he is

My baby (26)__________ is just
a little ole worm
