He come oozin' down a dusky back street
Shows his fangs to everybody he meet
He got a pocket full of razor make the bad boys shake
Say hello to Mr. Snake
He does his business by the dark of the moon
Hits the dance floor makes the ladies all swoon
So if you got a score to settle or a heart to break
Say hello to Mr. Snake
He got a live-wire body and a tombstone mind
He got some habits of the low-down kind
He act real friendly if he's so inclined
But don't forget, he's wicked defined
He likes hangin' where the jazz is red hot
Sinks the eight ball for the last dime you got
He only likes to play the ponies for the highest stakes
Say hello to Mr. Snake
(Instrumental break)
He got the wildfire temper and the nerve like ice
You risk your life each time he rolls the dice
If he looks angry, man take my advice
Just run at once, don't think twice
He steals your woman keep her out until dawn
Calls a taxi when the thrill is all gone
Now she moans she's had the real thing and you're just a fake
Say hello to Mr. Snake

This album sounds exactly like the cover looks. It’s a light and fun set of tracks that almost feel like they’re being performed just for you. A nice break for a busy day. Mykie Frankenstein
