Walter Martin, Karen O & Nick Zinner rattlesnakes

O anacondas are big and mean
they'll squeeze you so hard
that you'll burst your spleen.
and a cobra snake 'll eat you and your hat
but if you play him a song,
he forgets where he's at.
And a cottonmouth's got a poison tongue
they look kinda pretty but they're not much fun.
And a black snake
they don't do too much
they just lay in the grass
and look at the bugs.
Rattlesnakes we're not like all the other snakes
rattlesnakes we got a musical tail that we shake
we shake shake shake 'em while you clap your hands
we don't want to bite you
all we really want to do is dance.
all the other snakes don't understand.
Python's stomach can get so big
he can swallow up a whole full size pig
and a copper head
slithers through the sticks
his poison won't kill you
but it'll make you kinda sick
and a moray eel
isn't actually a snake
but he's ugly and
lives in underwater caves.
I'm tired of talking about
all these other snakes right now
when there's only one snake
worth talkin' about.
Rattlesnakes, we're not like all the other snakes
rattlesnakes we got a musical tail that we shake
we shake shake shake 'em while you clap your hands
we don't want to bite you
all we really want to do is dance.
all the other snakes don't understand.
Rattlesnakes, rattlesnakes, rattlesnakes...
