A Snake ate my Sister

from Not For Kids Really by Dan Latner

/

lyrics

Our dog was scratching at his bowl¬ begging for a meal
But we hadn’t a morsel to give
Mama sent me to the pet store To buy him some food
And she said take your sister with
She loves to see the bunnies and the gerbils and the hamsters
And all fluffy things of that size
So she gave me five dollars, kissed us both at the door
And never more saw my sister alive

Cause a python escaped and it swallowed her whole
While she stared at the goldfish swimming round in their bowl
I miss the only sister I ever had Momma and Daddy are gonna be mad

It was only for a moment that I turned my back
To check out the leopard geckos
The snake was so silent, I heard not a sound
Not a squeak not a skwak not a squecho
It was rolling on the floor by the staff only door
With a sister sized lump in his gut
Momma said I should to watch her, now she’ll ground me for sure
After Dad cracks my head like a nut

Chorus

The firemen and the police and the channel six news
Are all gathered to do what they do
I’m still standing by the lizards with a real bad case
Of the snake ate my sister blues
This day was so tragic and if I was magic
I’d bring her back instantaneously
But I can’t help to thinking that momma and dad
Will now spend all their money on me

Chorus
