Sneaky Snake - Tom T. Hall

Boys and girls take warning, «If you go near the lake

Keep your eyes wide open and look for sneaky snake»

Now maybe you won’t see him and maybe you won’t hear

But he’ll sneak up behind you and drink all your root beer

And then sneaky snake goes dancin', wigglin' and a-hissin'

Sneaky snake goes dancin', a-gigglin' and a-kissin'

I don’t like old sneaky snake, he laughs too much you see

When he goes wigglin' through the grass, it tickles his underneath

Well, sneaky snake drinks root beer and he just makes me sick

When he is not dancin', he looks just like a stick

Now, he doesn’t have any arms or legs, you cannot see his ears

And while we are not lookin', he’s stealin' all of our beer
