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

Every day now - aha
You take a walk here - aha
What d´ you say now - aha
If you should meet an evil minded snake in the grass ?

Stop - and watch where you´re puttin´ your feet
my sweet
I - don´t wanna do anything bad
But you make me mad
and I might bite your face (bite)
neck (bite)
arms (bite bite)
´cos I´m - oh oh - a snake in the grass
oh oh - a snake in the grass

Lookin´ around you - aha
You never see me - aha
You´ll get a surprise - aha
Should you get entangled with this snake in the grass

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

Stop - and watch where you´re puttin´ your feet
my sweet
I - don´t wanna do anything bad
But you make me mad
and I might bite your face (bite)
neck (bite)
arms (bite bite)
´cos I´m - oh oh - a snake in the grass
oh oh - a snake in the grass
