The Ballad of Mr. Snake - Kevin AyersspecificoceanSeptember 6 2006, 02:25:14 UTC
When the angostura runs a little low And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow And time is rushing by, but it seems slow Just live dangerously once before you go
If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake He'll assume the reputation of a fake Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong And gives that Mr. Snake a mighty shake
But who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake? Who wants to shake with a snake?

And your gin has lost that soft and roosy glow
And time is rushing by, but it seems slow
Just live dangerously once before you go
If you take the bite right out of Mr. Snake
He'll assume the reputation of a fake
Until someone comes along, someone fearless someone strong
And gives that Mr. Snake a mighty shake
But who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who would help a simple adder to be happy to be gladder?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
Who wants to shake with a snake?
I ask you.
