Crawling King Snake Lyrics

Every now and again a snake creeps
And crawls his way into your life
Like the deadly black Mamba
So fast you can't even strike
But let me tell you mama
One snake you must keep as
Your very special friend

I'm a crawling king snake mama
And I rule my den
Yeah, I'm a crawling king snake baby
And I rule my den
You know I'm a crawling king snake baby
Let me roam your property
I'll steal your little chickens baby
I'll take them home with me
'Cause I'm a crawling king snake baby
And I rule my den

Well, I'll lie beneath your mushrooms
Turn around your cold cold leave
I'm sleeping in your dreams baby
And I bite you with my teeth
'Cause I'm a crawling king snake baby
And I rule my den
Ah, I'mgonna crawl into your dream baby
It was real easy getting over the argument
That we had
I just took her to Hollywood
And we checked into the Chateau Marmont
Sunset Boulevard
Outside the windows cars

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
