Lyrics Rattlesnakes - Walter Martin, Karen O, Nick Zinner

Rattlesnakes

Well Anacondas are big and mean,
They’ll squeeze you so hard that you burst your spleen.
And a Cobra snake will eat you and your hat,
but if you play him a song he forgets where he’s at.
Cottonmouth’s got a poison tongue,
They look kinda pretty but they’re not much fun.
And a Blacksnake 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 musical tails that we shake
We shake shake shake’em while you clap your hands,
We don’t wanna bite you all we really wanna do is dance.
All the other snake don’t understand.
Python’s stomach can get so big, he can swallow up a whole full sized pig.
And a Copperhead 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 an underwater cave.
I’m tired of talking about all these other snakes right now,
There’s only one snake worth talking about.
Rattlesnakes, we’re not like all the other snakes,
Rattlesnakes we got musical tails that we shake
We shake shake shake’em while you clap your hands,
We don’t wanna bite you all we really wanna do is dance.
All the other snake don’t understand.
Rattlesnakes,
Rattlesnakes,
Rattlesnakes,
Rattlesnakes,
Rattlesnakes,
Rattlesnakes,
Rattlesnakes,
Rattlesnakes,
