Lyrics:

1. Beautiful morning, ah ha, down by the river, ah ha,
without a warning, ah ha,
who'd ever guess you'd come across a snake in the grass ?
2. Every day now, ah ha, you take a walk here, ah ha,
what'd you say now, ah ha,
if you should meet an evil minded snake in the grass ?
Stop and watch where you're puttin' your feet, my sweet !
I don't wanna do anything bad, but you make me mad.
And I might bite you face (bite), neck (bite), arms (bite-bite),
'cos I'm, oh, oh, a snake in the grass. oh, oh, a snake in the grass.
3. Lookin' around you, ah ha, you never see me, ah ha,
you'll get a surprise, ah ha,
should you
4. Under my thick skin, ah ha, I can be lonely, ah ha,
please, can I come in, ah ha,
and end my sad existence as a snake in the grass ? + CHORUS
+ instr. = verse 4 + verse 4 + verse 4 (2x = Ba ba ba ba)…
