Beautiful morning, ahh
Down by the river, ahh
Without a warning, ahh
Who´d ever guess you´d come across a snake in the grass

Every day now, ahh
You take a walk here, ahh
What do you say now, ahh
If you should meet an evil-minded snake in the grass

chorus
Stop and watch where you´re putting your feet, my sweet
I don´t want to do anything bad
But you make me mad and I might bite your face, bite neck, bite arms, bite bite
´Cause I´m, oh, a snake in the grass, oh
A snake in the grass

Looking around you, ahh
You never see me, ahh
You´ll get a surprise, ahh
Should you get entangled with a snake in the grass

Under my thick skin, ahh
I can be lonely, ahh
Please can I come in, ahh
And end my sad existence as a snake in the grass

[repeat chorus]

Under my thick skin, ahh
I can be lonely, ahh
Please can I come in, ahh
And end my sad existence as a snake in the grass
