On the way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman
Found a cold half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin
Had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing" she cried, "I'll take you in
And I'll take care of you"
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman"
Sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy
In a comforter of silk
And laid him by the fireside
With some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night
And soon as she arrived
She found that snake she'd taken in
By now had been revived
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman"
Sighed the snake
She clutched him to her bosom
"You're so beautiful" she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in
By now you would have died"
She stroked his pretty skin again
And kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks
That snake gave her a vicious bite
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman"
Sighed the snake
"Well I saved you" cried the woman
"And you bit me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous
And now I'm gonna die"
"Well, shut up, silly woman"
Said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake
Before you took me in"
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman"
Sighed the snake
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, tender woman"
Sighed the snake
