[Verse 1]

In the zoo, in the zoo

I wanna see the snakes

I don't want to see the lions

Or the gorillas, or the apes

I want to see a python

Squeeze somebody tight

Or a boa constrictor

In the middle of the night

[Chorus]

Snake hips boy, gonna lay you down

Gonna spoil your fun

Don't tread on him when he's around

Don't tread on him when he's around

He'll squeeze you 'til you fit real good

Snake bite love, snake bite love

[Verse 2]

In the jungle, in the jungle

I don't wanna see the trees

I don't wanna see the flowers

Or the beetles, or the bees

I wanna see an anaconda

Coiled in the gloom

Suffocate an alligator

Beneath a tropical moon

[Chorus]

Snake hips boy, gonna lay you down

Gonna bite your ass

Don't tread on him when he's around

Don't tread on him when he's around

Slide over you just like a glove

Snake bite love, snake bite love

[Verse 3]

In the summer, in the summer

I don't wanna see the plants

I don't wanna see the termites

Or the rabbits, or the ants

I wanna see a cobra

Inflate his scary hood

And bite the unsuspecting

I think that's really good

[Chorus]

Snake hips boy, gonna lay you down

Gonna lose his skin

Don't tread on him when he's around

Don't tread on him when he's around

Forked tongue, make you feel so good

Snake bite love, snake bite love

Don't tread on him when he's around

Don't tread on him when he's around

Squeeze you 'til you fit real good

Snake bite love, snake bite love
