Em
Night falls and I'm taken by sleep
Em
Hot night air blows up balloons in my dreams
B
Ding-dong rings the bell, something's at the door
B
So I put on my slippers and I creep across the floor
Em
Toward the door from hence I heard another ding dong
Em
I peep through the door hole but something's very wrong
B
As on my porch there are thousands of snakes
B
Ready to strike, I feel queasy and my knees start to shake
[Pre-Chorus]
G B
My perilous fate, I see no escape
Em D
As serpents lay seige to my country estate
G B
The Devil must have opened Hell's gate and called up
Em D#dim
Millions of snakes to take me from this place
[Chorus]
Em Eb+
Big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones
D Db+
Protect me from their venomous drug
C B
That springs from the needles of fangs
Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
Em
So many snakes you could fill the Great Lakes with snakes
B
Ha ha ha, run, I try to hide
B
But snake bites on my face testify I've been
Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
Em
So many snakes it would take a thousand crates
B
To contain the snakes after me
B
I'd rather be burned at the stake than be
Em
Attacked by snakes
[Verse 2]
Em
Welcome to my world, or should I say this land of snakes
Em
Serpents lie and wait, at every take my knees quake
B
As my life these snakes invade
B
Snake invaders show their fangs on the snake parade
[Pre-Chorus]
G B
My perilous fate, I see no escape
Em
As my family prays and waits
D
I fight them off with shovels and rakes
G B
And bats and phones but I just can't seem to shake these bones
Em D#dim
That slither from the dark to destroy my home
[Chorus]
Em Eb+
Big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones
D Db+
Protect me from their venomous drug
C B
That springs from needles of fangs
Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
Em
So many snakes you could fill the Great Lakes with snakes
B
Ha ha ha, run, I try to hide
B
But snake bites on my face testify I've been
Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
Em
So many snakes it would take a thousand crates
B
To contain the snakes after me
B
I'd rather be burned at the stake than be
N.C.
Attacked by...
[Outro]
Am Dm
One snake, two snakes, are there any more?
G E
There's two more knocking at my door...
