Watch yourself

Adam and Eve first discovered

How lowdown the snake could be

Well, he enticed them to taste the apple

Well, well, well

From the forbidden fruit tree

And ever since that time they've come

In every shape, fashion and form

Seemingly harmless, and their souls are possessed

With evil intentions and harm

You see, I found out about my friend

And how lowdown dirty he could be, well, well

I gave him all of my trust, yes, I did

But you know he misled me

He tried to take everything that I own

Right from under my feet, yes, he did

Tried to make time with that woman of mine

He turned out to be a snake in a man's disguise

Well

Snake in the grass (

Ooh-wee, people

)

He will surely bite you

Snake in the grass

Yeah, better watch yourself

Watch yourself[Post-Chorus: Richard Street]

It's a shame

It's a shame, woo, woo, woo, woo

It's a shame

One more thing I'd like to say

He tried to take everything that I own

Right from under my feet, Lord, he did

Tried to make time with that woman of mine

He turned out to be snake in a man's disguise
