lyrics

When I was a boy,
*He was a boy*
nearly a man,
*A Beastman*
exploring the woods in my North Country land!
*Minnesota*
My friends and I, well, we were out one night,
smoking cigars in the cover of the night
*Cigars in the cover of the night*

We wandered to
a rundown place.
*In the dark*
I couldn’t even see, the hand in front of my face
*No, no, no*
The only illumination, that we brought
was Bic lighter we should had forethought.
*A Bic lighter -- he should have had forethought.*

We heard we rustle
on the ground.
*What was that?*
We closed in upon it and then we all knelt down.
*On the ground*
We flicked on the light, and what came into sight?
A coiled up Bull Snake!
*A coiled up Bull Snake!*

They are not venomous.
This I know.
*Know, know, know*
But they act like the ones that are so.
*Hah* They jump,
*Hah* They bite,
*Hiss* Six Feet Long, and
Dark as the night.

I was terrified.
I was scared.
My friend dropped the lighter I was unprepared.
Darkness came in soon,
there was no moon.
The last thing I saw was a Bull Snake striking at me.
*In his pants he dribbled a couple of drops of pee!*

I cried out!
*Whoa, whoa, whoa*
I did move!
*Whoa, whoa, whoa*
I ran my buns off, I had something to prove,
*Whoa, whoa, whoa*
And I’m scared of snakes
*Whoa, whoa, whoa*
to this day
*Whoa, whoa, whoa*
and other reptilians that pass my way
Snakes are scary to me,
But bless those who study
herpetology!!
Bull Snake!
*hissss*
