SNAKE IN THE GRASS  - Allegra Broughton & Sam Page ©2017
 
I was walking down the road, the sun was shining bright
Minding my own business, I’m not looking for a fight.
Heard a strange voice calling me, I stopped to look around
From out of nowhere I heard a dreadful sound
Crackle, crackle, crackle I can hear you creep
Doggin’ at my footsteps, tryin’ to push me in the deep
 
There’s a snake in the grass There’s a snake in the grass
You’d better run, you’d better run fast ‘Cause there’s a snake in the grass
 
I went on vacation just to get some R and R
Hop aboard an aeroplane and jump into a car
Miles and miles from everywhere, a paradise I found
But from right behind me, I heard a nasty sound
Rattle, rattle, rattle You are scratchin’ at my door
Tapping on windows and crawling ‘cross the floor
 
There’s a snake in the grass There’s a snake in the grass
You’d better run, you’d better run fast ‘Cause there’s a snake in the grass
 
Now I’m sleeping safe at home, a’lyin’ in my bed
Dreaming about sugar plums dancing in my head
You’d think here behind four walls that I’d be on safe ground
But stirrin’ in the covers, I heard a wicked sound
Rustle, rustle, rustle    I can see your beady eyes
Thought you had me hoodwinked, but baby, I got wise
 
‘Cause there’s a snake in the grass There’s a snake in the grass
You’d better run child, you’d better run fast ‘Cause there’s a snake in the grass
 
‘Cause there’s a snake in the grass There’s a snake in the grass
You’d better run child, you’d better run fast ‘Cause there’s a snake in the grass
You’d better run child, you’d better run fast ‘Cause there’s a snake in the grass
