Jake the Snake
Mary Rice Hopkins
If I Knew How To Moo - Mary Rice Hopkins
Lyrics
There's nobody like him, he slithers along
Ooh, he's cool, he's ten feet long
He scares everybody, even my mom
He's my mighty python
My friends have dogs, some have cats
But I have a snake, can you imagine that?
I take him for a walk and people laugh
But he's my friend, that's a fact
Chorus:
And I smile as he slithers along
Ooh, but he's cool, he's ten feet long
Jake's my snake, best buddy I've found
And I'm the only kid in town
Who carries a python around
There used to be a bully who would bother me
Walkin' down the street, I felt so weak
But Jake popped out from my backpack
And the bully ran away and he never came back
This is a silly story, but you know it's true
You never know who might be a friend to you
You can't judge someone just by their skin
You gotta look inside, you gotta look within
(Repeat Chorus)
