If you would like to cure The fever called life Get some relief From all the struggle and strife
The grandest medicine That I can propose Is under your nose A snake in the grass
If you would like a spot Where life never goes Where you can leave your body Home in your clothes
The finest travel agent You'll ever meet Is right at your feet A snake in the grass
One sting And you can say goodbye to all of your friends One sting And you'll be singing as your spirit ascends Alls well that ends
So any day or night Wherever you are If you would like to take A trip to a star
The quickest transportation Yet known to man Is none other than A snake in the grass A snake in the grass A snake in the grass
If you would like to leave That inhuman race And take up residence Out yonder in space
When you are ready To go traveling on Sit right down upon A snake in the grass
One sting Is quite enough To make you happy And free
One sting And you'll discover How relaxed you can be Posthumously
And while you're wandering Through the heavenly blue If you should see the Lord Come strolling in view Go up and say You bring Him best wishes From his fallen old chum A snake in the grass A snake in the grass A snake in the grass
One sting
It's almost painless
A snake in the grass A snake in the grass A snake in the grass
