Baby Snake by Elliott Park

I have a sad sad story
I'll tell it in a song
I (1)__________ a baby python
in the woods behind my home

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

For (6)__________ (7)____________ I kept this up
dreaming of the day
of (8)______________ into show and tell
with a 10 (9)________ (10)____________ snake

But I (11)________ a big mistake
(or a (12)__________ one I should say)

My baby snake is just a worm
The vet just checked
It is confirmed

By now he (13)____________ be slinking
But all he (14)________ is squirm
My baby (15)__________ is (16)________ a worm

My friend and I made a snake cage
From chicken wire and sticks
We worked all weekend on it
This news (17)________ makes us sick

Cause that cage won't keep a worm 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 know just (18)________ I mean

My (19)________ snake is just a worm
The vet (20)________ checked, it is confirmed
By now he should 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 when I get a real one, at least I'll have somethin' to feed it

Nah, I'm (21)________ kiddin' about that

But my baby (22)__________ is just a worm
the vet (23)________ checked, it is confirmed
By now he should be slinkin'
But all he does is squirm

My (24)________ snake, he's just a worm
My baby snake is just a worm, yes he is

My (25)________ snake is just
a little ole worm
