[Verse 1] Clear blue skies The warm sun and the cool air There we were, just taking a stroll Down by the river without a care She leaned down closer Just to feel the water Then suddenly she jumped back And screamed, “Oh shit! What the—” [Chorus] If it was a snake, it would’ve bit her Wait a minute… it was a snake! Just swimming there against the current Like he was taking a break We jumped back and gave him his space He didn’t seem to mind He just kept on swimming upstream Like he had somewhere to be on time [Verse 2] He stopped right there in the water And seemed to look our way Almost like he wanted to tell us “Hey, I’m just here to play” We stood there watching Trying not to make a sound Then he slowly swam toward the shore And started climbing out [Chorus] If it was a snake, it would’ve bit her Wait a minute… it was a snake! Just swimming there against the current Like he was taking a break We jumped back and gave him his space He didn’t seem to mind He just kept on swimming upstream Like he had somewhere to be on time [Bridge] Then he lifted up his head And started moving our way We looked at one another Like, “Is this where we die today?” He slithered just a little closer Then stopped beside a tree Turned around and disappeared Like, “Nice meeting you. Let me be.” [Final Chorus] If it was a snake, it would’ve bit her And technically, that’s true But he never even tried to strike He had better things to do So we went back to our peaceful walk And watched him disappear Just another sunny afternoon With a little excitement thrown in here [Outro] Clear blue skies The warm sun and the cool air A peaceful walk beside the river… And a snake that wasn’t there to bite us— At least, that’s what we’re telling ourselves.
