I opened the cabinet
What did I see?
Seven silver snakes were slithering
And looking at me.

Oh-
Seven silver snakes a slithering
Seven silver snakes a slithering
Seven silver snakes were slithering
And looking at me.

I ran for the forest
And climbed up a tree
Seven silver snakes were slithering
And following me.

Oh-
Seven silver snakes a slithering
Seven silver snakes a slithering
Seven silver snakes were slithering
And following me.

I ran for the docks
And jumped in the sea
Seven silver snakes were swimming
Oh woe is me!

Oh-
Seven silver snakes a swimming
Seven silver snakes a swimming
Seven silver snakes were swimming
Oh woe is me!

I felt a small bite
Then two or three
Seven silver snakes were swallowing…
Were swallowing me!

Oh-
Seven silver snakes a swallowing
Seven silver snakes a swallowing
Seven silver snakes were swallowing…
Were swallowing me!

Gulp!
