Baby Snake by Elliott Park

I have a sad sad story
I'll tell it in a song
I found a baby python
in the woods behind my home

I (1)________ it in a (2)____________ can
underneath my bed
I (3)____________ my (4)________ daily
on a leash made out of thread

For seven (5)____________ I kept (6)________ up
dreaming of the day
of walking into show and tell
with a 10 (7)________ (8)____________ snake

But I made a big mistake
(or a (9)__________ one I should say)

My baby 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 (10)____________ and I made a snake cage
From (11)______________ wire and sticks
We worked all weekend on it
This (12)________ just makes us sick

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

My friend, he's got a fishin' pole
and a look I've never seen
And he wants to take him fishin'
if you (16)________ just what 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 baby snake, is (17)________ a worm.

I don't just (18)________ a baby snake
I need it
And when I get a real one, at least I'll have somethin' to feed it

Nah, I'm just kiddin' about that

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

My baby snake, he's (19)________ a worm
My baby (20)__________ is (21)________ a worm, yes he is

My baby (22)__________ is just
a little ole worm
