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 coffee can
underneath my bed
I walked my baby daily
on a leash made out of thread

For seven (2)____________ I (3)________ this up
dreaming of the day
of walking (4)________ show and tell
with a 10 foot python snake

But I made a big mistake
(or a (5)__________ 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 (6)________ snake is just a worm

My friend and I made a (7)__________ cage
From (8)______________ wire and sticks
We worked all weekend on it
This (9)________ (10)________ makes us sick

Cause (11)________ (12)________ won't keep a (13)________ 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 (14)__________ seen
And he wants to (15)________ him fishin'
if you know (16)________ 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 just a worm.

I don't just (17)________ a baby snake
I need it
And when I get a real one, at (18)__________ I'll have somethin' to feed it

Nah, I'm just kiddin' (19)__________ that

But my baby snake is just a worm
the vet just checked, it is confirmed
By now he (20)____________ be slinkin'
But all he does is squirm

My baby snake, he's (21)________ a worm
My baby (22)__________ is just a worm, yes he is

My baby (23)__________ is just
a (24)____________ ole worm
