Silly Snake, Silly Snake, Silly Snake, Silly Snake

Silly Snake made a different sound
he couldn’t hiss like his friends
he could make a buzzing sound

Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz (repeat 4 times)

Silly Snake, Silly Snake, Silly Snake, Silly Snake

The other snakes love to hear him buzz
silly snake was different they loved him for what he was

Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz (repeat 4 times)

Bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz (repeat 4 times)
Silly Snake, Silly Snake, Silly Snake, Silly Snake
