He's a mean black snake
Suckin' on my writer's tongue
There's a mean, mean black snake
Oh, sucking on my writer's tongue
Hey, hey

You know if I go and catch him down
I guarantee he won't be comin' back no more
Oh, it crawled up in my window
Oh, and he crawled up in my bed
Oh, he crawled up in my window
Woah, and he crawled up into my bed

Well he's a mean, mean, mean black snake
I sure gon' kill him dead

You worry me all through the day
Worry me all night long
You worry me all through the day
Worry me all night long
But I can bet you my bottom dollar
Won't be suckin' my writer's tongue no more

Mean, mean, mean black snake
Suckin' my writer's tongue
Woah there's a mean, mean black snake
Suckin' my writer's tongue
Oh, if I catch him down
He won't be suckin' my writer's tongue no more
Mix me up some toad frog hip
Old John the Conqueror's done no good
Mix me up some toad frog hip
Old John the Conqueror's done no good
Gonna put grave dirt on his doorstep
And I'll be rid of him for good
