Lyrics The Viper (I) - Tiny Tim

The Viper (I)

I was in my apartment all alone when I heard a ring tingling on the telly-phone
I said «Who's that at half past three?»
And a frightening voice came back at me!
«Sssssss!
Ssssssss!
I am The Viper!
I’ll sssee you in seven weekss»
My head was spinning and my knees were weak
I could hardly stand on my own two feet!
Its next call got me out of bed
Then how I flipped when that voice said
«Sssssss!
Ssssssss!
I am The Viper!
I’ll see you in seven days»
I shook like Jell-O in a hurricane!
My heart was pounding like a Pullman train
Again that voice upset me so
Again I flipped as it said, «Oh, oh!»
«Sssssss!
I am The Viper, I’ll ssssee you in sssseven ssssecondsss!»
Now I’m certain that my time has come!
I can hear its knock;
it’s too late to run!
I know that I must let it in!
So wish me luck, 'cause things look grim!
«Ssssssssssss!
I am The Viper!»
«Oh, why have you come?»
«I have come to vipe your vindows!»
