Night falls and I'm taken by sleep
Hot night air blows up balloons in my dreams
Ding-dong rings the bell
Something's at the door
So I put on my slippers
And I creep across the floor

For the door from hence I heard
Another ding-dong
I peep through the door hole
But something's very wrong
As on my porch
There are thousands of snakes
Ready to strike
I feel queasy and ny knees start to shake

My perilous fate
I see no escape 
As serpents lay seige to my country estate
The Devil must have opened Hell's gate 
And called up millions of snakes
To take me from this place

Big ones, little ones
Fat ones, skinny ones
Protect me from their venomous drug
That springs from the needles of fangs
Attacked by snakes

By Snakes
So many snakes
You could fill the Great Lakes with snakes
Ha ha ha run
I try to hide
But snake bites on my face testify
I've been attacked by snakes

By snakes, so many snakes
It would take a thousand crates
To contain the snakes after me
I'd rather be burned at the stake
Than be attacked by snakes

Welcome to my world
Or should I say this land of snakes
Serpents lie and wait at every take my knees quake
As my life these snakes invade
Snake invaders show their fangs on the snake parade

My perilous fate
I see no escape
As my family prays and waits 
I fight them off with
Shovels and rakes and
Bats and phones
But I just can't seem
To shake these bones
That slither from the dark
To destroy my home

Big ones, little ones
Fat ones, skinny ones
Protect me from their venomous drug
That springs from the needles of fangs
Attacked by snakes

By Snakes
So many snakes
You could fill the Great Lakes with snakes
Ha ha ha run
I try to hide
But snake bites on my face testify
I've been attacked by snakes

By snakes, so many snakes
It would take a thousand crates
To contain the snakes after me
I'd rather be burned at the stake
Than be attacked by snakes

One snake, two snakes
Are there any more?
There's two more
Knocking at my door

Five snakes, six snakes
Are there any more?
There's two more
Knocking at my door

Nine snakes, ten snakes
Are there any more?
There's two more
Knocking at my door

Eleven snakes, twelve snakes
Are there any more?
There's two more
Knocking at my door

Thirteen snakes, fourteen snakes
Are there any more?
There's two more
Knocking at my door

Fifteen snakes, sixteen snakes
Are there any more?
There's two more
Knocking at my door
