Tom T. Hall - Sneaky Snake Lyrics






Boys and girls take warning, if you go near the lake
Keep your eyes wide open, and look for sneaky snake
Now maybe you won't see him, and maybe you won't hear
But he'll sneak up behind you, and drink all of your root beer

And then sneaky snake goes dancing, wigglin' and a-hissin'
Sneaky snake goes dancin', a-gigglin' and a-kissin'
I don't like old sneaky snake; he laughs too much you see
When he goes wigglin' through the grass, it tickles his underneath

Well, sneaky snake drinks root beer, and he just makes me sick
When he is not dancing, he looks just like a stick
he doesn't have any arms or legs, you cannot see his ears
And while we are not lookin', he's stealin' all of our root beer

And then sneaky snake goes dancing, wigglin' and a-hissin'
Sneaky snake goes dancin', a-gigglin' and a-kissin'
I don't like old sneaky snake; he laughs too much you see
When he goes wigglin' through the grass, it tickles his underneath

  1. L.... M....

    Holy crap, I watched this video over a decade ago and totally forgot this existed. Also had no idea this was Tom T Hall - the man's got a host of great songs

  2. D.... W....

    I named my pet snake after this song. Back in 2008

  3. p.... ....

    Love this little ditty from many years back and so glad to find it here.

  4. T.... N....

    I hit the like icon only because I am too goddamn stupid to find the dislike icon.
    Though I ain't too dumb to know the difference between a button and an icon.

  5. c.... g....

    Another classic from my youth.God bless Tom T Hall.A gentleman for sure.

  6. s.... G....

    tsk tsk tsk funny but really not

  7. M.... K....

    Thank you very much for uploading this. I looked for this song for a while and couldn't find it. That was several years ago. It came up again, and now thanks to you it is easy to find.

  8. D.... E....

    This is probably the oldest video I've come across on YouTube according to the date of July 12, 2006.

  9. W.... ....

    Anybody else remember this being played often at Shakey's pizza parlor back in the seventies?

  10. B.... S....

    I know who sneaky snake is!!!

  11. J.... N....

    I bought this Album when it first came out.
    Then had to buy me another. Wore that 8 track slap out.

  12. J.... W....

    My kid loves this

  13. T.... N....

    I hope my 1,000,000 view isn't skewing the deal.

  14. J.... B....

    I’m dying😂😭

  15. k.... r....

    My grandmother use to sing this to my siblings and I. Such a great memory

  16. d.... j....

    This holds true to the Philippines.

  17. L.... S....

    this is an old song my mom showed me

  18. J.... J....

    My dad used to play this way back in the day definitely the song that’ll play through my head when I die lmao

    The snake is a pizzagate symbol.

  21. H.... ....

  22. j.... j....

    jesus christ

  23. Z.... G....

    The classic Irish folksong

  24. h.... m....

    Huh, ok

  25. T.... L....

    Okay Chris O'Neil (Oney G) fans, yes, this song is real and you owe Chris a coke. And no it's not a traditional Irish folksong. But it is the greatest song of all time, suitable for bar mitzvahs, baptisms, biptisms, weddings, wakes, revenge-fueled romps across the Southwest, and To-Fon-Rahs. So subscribe to my channel, you humps: www.youtube.com/TheLogophile. Whoever gets Chris to reach out to me first gets a free one-year subscription to my face.

  26. B.... M....

    lookin for some Tomar emeralds

  27. n.... a....

    You yuppie punk

  28. d.... ....

    d.... ....

    Flash cartoon on early 2000's. He is a historian.

    Is this like a metaphor for pedophiles?

  30. S.... s....

    we all have a sneaky snake in our lives

  31. m.... m....

    You thought Chris was lying and decided to search it up yourself didn’t you?
