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 walked my baby daily
on a leash (3)________ out of thread

For (4)__________ months I kept this up
dreaming of the day
of walking (5)________ (6)________ and tell
with a 10 foot python snake

But I (7)________ a big mistake
(or a small one I should say)

My (8)________ snake is just a worm
The vet just checked
It is confirmed

By now he should be slinking
But all he does is squirm
My baby snake is just a worm

My friend and I made a (9)__________ cage
From chicken (10)________ and sticks
We worked all (11)______________ on it
This news just makes us sick

Cause that (12)________ won't (13)________ a (14)________ in
Never could, never will
A worm'll (15)____________ right through it
And disappear into the silt

My friend, he's got a fishin' pole
and a (16)________ I've never seen
And he wants to (17)________ him fishin'
if you know (18)________ (19)________ I mean

My baby snake is just a worm
The vet just checked, it is confirmed
By now he should be slitherin' around
But all he does is squirm

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

I don't just want a (21)________ snake
I (22)________ it
And when I get a real one, at least I'll (23)________ somethin' to (24)________ it

Nah, I'm (25)________ kiddin' about that

But my (26)________ snake is just a worm
the vet (27)________ checked, it is confirmed
By now he (28)____________ be slinkin'
But all he does is squirm

My baby snake, he's just a worm
My baby (29)__________ is just a worm, yes he is

My baby snake is just
a little ole worm
