On her way to work one morning..
Down the path along side the lake...
A tender hearted woman
saw a poor half frozen snake...
His pretty coloured skin
had been all frosted with the dew...
"Oh well," she cried
"I'll take you in~
and I'll take care of you"...

"Take me in oh tender woman... {come on in}
Take me in~.. for heaven's sake {come on in}
Take me in~... tender woman~..."
sighed the snake...

Now, She wrapped him up all cozy..
in a coverture of silk...
And then laid him by the fireside
with some honey and some milk...

Now she hurried home from work that night..
as soon as she arrived...
She found that pretty snake
she'd taken in had been revived...

"Take me in oh tender woman... {come on in}
Take me in~.. for heaven's sake {come on in}
Take me in~... tender woman~..."
Sighed the snake...

Now she clutched him to her bosom..
"You're so beautiful," she cried...
"But if I hadn't of brought you in by now
you might have died"..
Now she stroked his pretty skin again
and then kissed and held him tight...
But instead of saying thanks
that snake gave her~ a~ vicious bite~.. Oooh!...

"Take me in oh tender woman... {come on in}
Take me in~.. for heaven's sake {come on in}
Take me in~... tender woman~..."
Sighed the snake...

"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
And you know your bite is poisonous
and now I'm gonna die!"

"Oh shut up, silly woman,"
said that reptile with a grin
"You knew darn well I was a snake
before you brought me in...

"Please take me in
oh tender woman {come on in}
Take me in, for heaven's sake.. {come on in}
Take me in tender woman"...
Sighed the snake...
Sighed the snake...

"Take me in tender woman"...
Sighed the snake...
Sighed the snake...
"Take me in tender woman"...
Sighed the snake....
