He's a mean black snake

Suckin' on my writer's tongue

There's a mean, mean black snake

Oh, sucking on my writer's tongue

Hey, hey

You know if I go and catch him down

I guarantee he won't be comin' back no more

Oh, it crawled up in my window

Oh, and he crawled up in my bed

Oh, he crawled up in my window

Woah, and he crawled up into my bed

Well he's a mean, mean, mean black snake

I sure gon' kill him dead

You worry me all through the day

Worry me all night long

You worry me all through the day

Worry me all night long

But I can bet you my bottom dollar

Won't be suckin' my writer's tongue no more

Mean, mean, mean black snake

Suckin' my writer's tongue

Woah there's a mean, mean black snake

Suckin' my writer's tongue

Oh, if I catch him down

He won't be suckin' my writer's tongue no more

Mix me up some toad frog hip

Old John the Conqueror's done no good

Mix me up some toad frog hip

Old John the Conqueror's done no good

Gonna put grave dirt on his doorstep

And I'll be rid of him for good
