Contrary to popular belief, snakes are actually drier than we are. Yep, there’s no slime on a snake’s body (or any reptile for that matter). This song is sure to earn giggles from your students with verses about some things that ARE slimy (“seaweed tangled in your bare little toes / the mysterious stuff in the back of the fridge starting to decompose”) and an infectious chorus that will remind all who hear it that a snake’s definitely NOT slimy! -- Lucas Miller
A bowl of cold spaghetti noodles -- is slimy!
And the noses of puffy white French poodles -- are slimy!
Chorus:
But a snake's not slimy,
No, a snake's not slimy
They're not slimy at all
They may be smooth and they may be shiny
But don't let me catch you calling them slimy
'Cause a snake's not slimy, no, a snake's not slimy at all!
A month-old slice, I said a MONTH-old slice of baloney-is slimy!
A rotten banana that's been squashed by a pregnant pony-that’s slimy!
Chorus
Well, a snake's got a skin that is covered with scales
Made of the same kind of stuff as your fingernails
Take a look at your fingernails and tell me--are they slimy? (I hope not!)
They're not slimy, slimy, slimy, no, no, you're nails aren't
Slimy, slimy, slimy, no, no, a snake's not
Slimy, slimy, slimy, no, no, a snake's not slimy!
Seaweed squishing between your bare, little toes-that's slimy!
The mysterious stuff in the back of the fridge that's starting to decompose-that's slimy!
An octopus, and an oyster, a jellyfish, an eel
A frog, and a salamander,
Oh, don't you wanna feel?
A fish, and a slug, and a snail and a squid
And a slug, did I say that one already?
I guess that I did; they're all slimy!
