The Squirrel And The Snake

This is where I wanna be
This is where I'm free
Jumping around from branch to branch
On the jungle trees

Young blood there's a hunter coming ahead
He's got a sling,a knife and a gun
I like it here,my earthly bed
And for the sake of your little fun

You might wanna duck for a little while
At least until the hunter's gone
Or else both of us will die
And end up with smokes in our lungs

Hey pal I like it up here
It cool,its sweet,I like the view
Pardon me if I'm not buying any of your fears
I'm sleek,I'm smart,I got the moves

Aloud comes the shot
A blast from the hunter's gun
And the squirrel drops
Right next to the snake on the tree bottom

Just as the hunter advanced to pick his kill
He finds a snake next to it
He hits the snake hard on the head
And then proceeds to pick them both

It happened that just before they were thrown into the fire
The snake turned to the squirrel
If only you had listened to me
We would never have ended  here
