Let's see, uh...
It was on an island
And there was this snake
And this snake had legs
And he could walk all around the island
Yes, that's true
A snake with legs
And the man and the woman were on the island too
And they were not very smart
But they were happy as clams. Yes

Let's see, uh...
Then one evening
The snake was walking about in the garden
And he was talking to himself
And he saw the woman, and they started to talk
And they became friends
Very good friends

And the woman liked the snake very much
Because when he talked
He made little noises with his tongue
And his long tongue
Was lightly licking about his lips
Like there was a little fire inside his mouth
And the flame would come dancing out of his mouth
And the woman liked this... very much
And after that, she was bored with the man
Because no matter what happened
He was always as happy as a clam
What did the snake say?
Yes, what was he saying?
Ok, I will tell you

The snake told her things about the world
He told her about the time there was this big typhoon on the island
And all the sharks came out of the water
Yes, they came out of the water
And they walked right into your house
With their big white teeth

And the woman hearrd these things
And she was in love
And the man came out and said:
We have to go now
And the woman did not want to go
Because she was a hothead
Because she was a woman in love

Anyway, they got into the boat and left the island
But they never stayed anywhere very long
Because the woman was restless
She was a hothead
She was a woman in love

And this is not a story my people told
It is something I know... myself
And when I do my job
I am thinking about these things
Because when I do my job
That... is what I think about
